Barty is basically Rocky. Like, Rocky IV, "(S)he's not human... (s)he is like a piece of iron" Rocky. You get up 5-1 and nothing changes, she just keeps hitting. Just goes to show that the most important skill is mental.

Would anybody object to renaming Margaret Court Arena Ashleigh Barty Arena? Or Evonne Goolagong-Cawley Arena?

Did Barty give Collins a 5-1 lead just to stave off boredom?

lol - I watched the highlights of the match and I don't think so, Collins was playing extremely well (that backhand of hers was deadly), but Barty activated Spider-Man instant kill mode and that was that.

Ashley Barty has now won a slam on hard court, grass and clay. The only other active players to have done it are: Serena, Roger, Rafa and Novak.

This is flying under the radar due to the Aussie Open, but Vasek is into the final of a challenger event in Quimper, France that will be contested Sunday morning.

Can't lose final for me.
Both guys would be worthy champions.
Cue the asterisk arguments by the Joker fanboys if Rafa wins.

If Rafa wins today, I will finally be able to appreciate the 2017 final that I have blocked from my head. Interesting stat, Rafa is the same age now as Federer was in that final.

That’s as bad as Meddy is going to serve for any given set. Rafa May as well just start closing his eyes and swinging for home runs because the current mix of slices and droppers is losing effect.
