This was Ash Barty’s 3rd Slam title after her breakthrough French Open success in 2019 and in Wimbledon last year. She joined Serena Williams as the only active players to win majors on all three surfaces.

In the on-court interview Barty said, “This is a dream come true for me. I am so proud of being Aussie. As an Aussie, the most important part of this tournament has been being able to share this experience with the fans.”

“You guys have been nothing short of exceptional.”

Ash addressed the crowd and said, “You relaxed me and forced me to play my best tennis. Thank you.”

Christine O’Neil was present in the crowd. Before the match she said, “I’m probably her (Barty’s) biggest fan. I’d be happy to hand it over to her because she’s so deserving of it.

“She is an absolute thinker, she’s a craftsperson, a bit like a chess player with how she constructs the points.”

With the Aussie crowd roaring, Ash was able to collect her 4th victory in five encounters with Collins and make history for Australia.

There was another special moment for Ashleigh Barty when her idol, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, came on to court to present her with the Daphne Akhurst trophy.

There had been home success in the Australia Open. It was in the wheelchair and quad events, through David Hall and Dylan Alcott.
