Meanwhile, Rybakina showed some inconsistency and was unable to showcase her powerful serves. However, she knew well that to reach the peaks of tennis, she had to overcome challenges.
In the middle of the second set, Rybakina gradually turned the game in her favor. By increasing her accuracy in serves and defensive plays, she was able to apply pressure on Gauff and keep hopes alive for victory by taking the second set. This change in her spirit and performance excited the spectators and demonstrated that Rybakina possessed great inner strength.
