Breaking: World No.1 Ashleigh Barty's Australian Open dream remains on track after she repelled a serious challenge from American Alison Riske on Sunday evening | AnthColangelo
Ashleigh Barty's Australian Open dream remains on track after she repelled a serious challenge from American Alison Riske on Sunday evening.
Riske had defeated Barty in the round of 16 at Wimbledon last year so she was more than capable of handling this facet of the Australian's game, and while the first set was a battle for her because of that slice, she soon found her groove in the second.Like Riske's inaccurate serving in the first set, it was Barty's unforced errors that swayed the match in the second set.
That may sound obvious but the lack of extravagance and panic she played with, a set down in front of a crowd that was against her, was impressively measured and not easy to do.
