from [winning] Wimbledon … I just want to come on court and enjoy the moment [in Saturday’s final], enjoy the atmosphere … it’s really amazing to play in front of you guys so thank you so much.
“I try my best, I fight, and hopefully, I’m going to win. I’m looking forward to playing in front of everybody, and especially my parents.”Rybakina speaks: “I’m super happy and proud, with my team also, without them it would be difficult to be here … it’s an incredible atmosphere, I’m super happy to be in the finals, and play one more time here.
“I couldn’t play really aggressive tennis, the conditions were different, the ball was not ‘going’ so much, but in the end I managed to win … I will try my best in the final, of course.”A double fault by Azarenka makes it 0-40. Azarenka gets one break point back … but then nets from the back of the court, and Rybakina has done it!The players shake hands at the net as Rybakina goes through to the final.
