Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
Rinky!!!!!!
Australians Rinky Hijikata and Jason Kubler just won their semi-final doubles match, and are into the Final. They beat the #8 seeds today... Beat the #1 seeded team a few days ago... And they got in as a WildCard team!
I had a nice talk with Rinky and his coach a few years ago when he was a Junior. Both of them were extremely nice.
Australia is known as a really good tennis country - they have produced some great players over the decades - but it's been 25 years since an Australian team won the doubles title at the Aussie Open.
I hope that drought comes to an end this week.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
1st set of Rybakina - Azarenka was back & forth the entire set, on their way to a tiebreak.
The tiebreak was sloppy from both players. Rybakina won it in the end 7-4.

Vika had some vintage fight, but she really struggled holding her serve.

Rybakina explodes into a dance after winning the match. Something that looked a bit like the Cha-cha-cha with a little charleston thrown in.
Nah, coolest winner in the history of this sport. You simply can't tell if she won or lost.
A very fast paced match.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
I wonder if Rybakina will now challenge Swiatek over the whole year for #1. Assuming of course she does win the title Saturday.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
Don't see her doing much on clay. She is obviously very good on grass, but repeating a slam is very hard. The USO will be like this Aussie.
If she wins on Saturday that is 2 slams of the last four, same as Iga. It would be a fine rivalry.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
Rybakina's style is better suited for faster surfaces, while Swiatek's - for slower. But Iga's dominance on slower surfaces is established and with quite a strong basis from her technique, strokes and her whole game. IMO, to assert a dominance on faster surfaces is harder. Which is why I tend to think that Rybakina will unlikely to challenge for #1 spot. There is also a possibility of repeating the last year situation in Wimbledon, and these points again may not count.

As an aside, I am happy ESPN is actually showing tennis despite it being their "morning drive programming" time

Yeah.
I did hear one of the commentators during Rinky and Kubler's doubles match today say that it has been 25 years since an Aussie pair won this home tournament.
Maybe the commentator said that it HAD been 25 year until last year. It sure sounded to me like it was "It HAS been 25 years", though.
Either way, I should have clued in that Kyrgios and Kokkinakis won it last year.
Thanks to both of you for catching that obvious error.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
I’m more and more impressed with Linette... because she is not impressed with or intimidated by the higher ranked players she’s playing. She just holds steady, playing her (very solid) game... She’s serving well, too.
She started the match by breaking Sabalenka (actually, Sabalenka broke herself again). Sabalenka raced out to a 5-0 lead... in the unforced error count - going down 0-2. Then she came back winning 3 straight games. After that, it was even through the rest of the set to the tiebreak.
It was a very disappointingly one-sided tiebreak, though, after a very even set.
These two have quite different styles - Sabalenka’s loud (literally), powerful, but risky, in-your-face style... and Linette’s steady, consistent, being-an-aggressive-backboard style.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
The tiebreak didn't feel like a "fair" ending after an enjoyable first set.
Sabalenka up 4-1 in the 2nd, serving, seeming to get tight. Will be curious if start of a roller coaster.
Also, again to ESPN, Belarusian flag has been there the whole match.

No drama for Sabalenka today - moved into her first final with some real clear-headed tennis.

Re: '23 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
I think it will be a great final. About 50/50. At the top of their games Sabalenka is better, but she's also more likely to underperform.
