3 all 2nd.
C’mon Ash.
Barty gets it to love 30 on Goerges serve, but Georges hits some powerful groundstroke winners to hold on.
6:3 3:4
Barty tested at 30:30 produces a nice whip forehand winner then at deuce smacks an ace and forces a forehand stretch error to get the hold.
6:3 4: 4
Goerges holds on to serve with some strong winners after 2 double faults and having a break point against her.
6:3 4:5
Barty with a strong response to early pressure with a brilliant cross court passing winner and a number of huge serves holds on.
6:3 5:5
Aghhhh, … c’mon, just hold this one.
Better, …
And a great serve…
Bugger.
But another ACE!! Deuce
Advantage, …
…and Deuce
Ace! Ad

Hearty Barty.
You ripper ash
I enjoyed that presentation, understated and sincere. A nice place to claim top spot.
Great stuff Ash
Barty has achieved her goals - Won a grand slam and world number one - It’s a matter of what she can add to the collection.

She should retire now.
Not injured. Players often make double entries in case they have an early exit the previous week.

kokkinakis still injured.
kyrgios still unable to focus on court, or commit off court.
If this continues, it will be the greatest lost talent since mozart died too young and Ana Ivanovic retired so I was forced to start watching tennis for the actual tennis.

Sure Mozart was a relatively young 35 when he carked it but the complete box set clocks in at 180 CDs! And only a handful are great and most of those were early to mid career. Hardly a loss of potential. Churned out more crap near the end than Paul McCartney. Or should I say Lleyton Hewitt?
