Takeaways: Rybakina knocks out World No.1 Swiatek in Melbourne ... (WTA Tennis)

Reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina surprised top seed Iga Swiatek with a powerful straight-sets victory to reach her first Australian Open ...

After falling behind 3-0 in the second set, Rybakina recovered and won six of the next seven games to finish off the upset. But Rybakina cracked another backhand return winner to break Swiatek again for 4-3, and the Kazakh was impenetrable on serve from there, finishing the opening frame with four aces as she swiped the one-set lead. Rybakina also had a win over Swiatek to look back on, even though it didn’t count in their official head-to-head. Rybakina possesses big-match confidence: The Kazakh already proved she could power her way to a Grand Slam title with her booming serve and tidy winners at Wimbledon last year. Rybakina had nine previous wins over Top 10 opposition on her resume, two of those coming at Grand Slams. Swiatek, though, was equally as impressive winning second-return points as she pulled back level at 2-2.

Swiatek could not find an answer to the power game of Rybakina, the Wimbledon champ who is seeded No. 22 in Melbourne.

“It was not easy in the last years, not only me being new on the tour but also how the world changed with all the pandemic and everything,” she said. But Ostapenko’s quarterfinal against Rybakina on Tuesday is guaranteed to be the higher-velocity affair, and Rybakina will have more support than usual. She got no ranking points for winning Wimbledon because the tours stripped the tournament of points in retaliation for its decision to bar Russian and Belarusian players after the invasion of Ukraine. “I still feel like I’ve improved a lot,” said Gauff, who teared up in her postmatch news conference. “I think people know her quality and how good she is and how much she can win. She has seemed overwrought during the Australian summer: sobbing in her chair after losing to Jessica Pegula of the United States in the United Cup team event this month. But of course I’m trying to do less and less every match because I need to be focused, and it gets more difficult the better players you play.” “Where you come from has a big impact on the respect you might get on tour,” he said. “For sure, the past two weeks have been pretty hard for me,” she said. “I think she deserved it,” Stefano Vukov, her coach, said on Sunday. She won the French Open and U.S. Sometimes it’s good also to show the emotions, that you are actually there and you are fighting.
