Lowo mphumela uqinisekisa ukuthi umpetha we-Australian Open waseKazakhstan oneminyaka engu-27 uzoba ngunombolo 1 ku-WTA ngoMsombuluko, eqeda amasonto angu-99 ka-Aryna Sabalenka esicongweni, kungakhathaliseki imiphumela esele yomqhudelwano.

Kungani lokhu kubalulekile

Umjaho wezikhundla usuphelile ngaphambi kokuba indebe inikezwe. URybakina useqinisekise isikhundla esiphezulu emdlalweni, kodwa kusamele awine umdlalo wangoLwesine wokuhlungela owamanqamu, mhlawumbe nowamanqamu uqobo.

Ukukhuphuka kuka-Zheng kushintsha isimo sakhe ngemva kwendlela enzima yokubuya ekuhlinzweni. Uma ukubuyela kwakhe phakathi kwabangu-60 abahamba phambili kuhlala ohlwini lwangoMsombuluko, uzongena esigabeni esilandelayo enesikhundla esithuthuke kakhulu.

Ku-Gauff noma ku-Andreeva, noma ngubani oba yimbangi kaRybakina uzobhekana nomdlali osevele eqinisekise ingqophamlando yesikhundla sakhe kodwa osalokhu elwela inhloso yomqhudelwano. Lokho kungenza owandulela owamanqamu ube umncintiswano phakathi kwesikhundla esesinqunyiwe nomsebenzi osangakaqedwa.

Izimo ezingaba khona

Okungenzeka kakhulu: Umbono wethu (ukuqagela okunolwazi): lapho i-WTA ikhipha amazinga ayo ngoMsombuluko, uRybakina uthatha isikhundla sokuqala kanti umpetha we-U.S. Open unqunywa ngokwehlukana. Lesi yisimo esiyisisekelo ngoba ukufinyelela kwakhe kowandulela owamanqamu sekuluqinisekisile ushintsho lwezikhundla.

Lokho kuzohlanganisa isikhundla esisha sokuqala nomklomelo wamanje, kunokukushiya kuyizimpumelelo ezimbili ezihlukene.

Okubi kakhulu: Uma uRybakina ehlulwa kowandulela owamanqamu, usazoba ngunombolo 1 ngoMsombuluko, kodwa omunye umdlali uzothatha ithuba lokufinyelela kowamanqamu nelokunqoba isicoco ohlangothini lwakhe lohlu lokudlala. Ushintsho lwezikhundla luzohlala lukhona; umfutho womqhudelwano wamasonto amabili uzodlulela kwenye indawo.
