BREAKING: Ash Barty has won the 2022 Australian Open! Details:
Behind the scenes cameras have captured the moment Danielle Collins appeared to ignore Ash Barty as the crossed paths inside Rod Laver Arena moments before they walked out onto court.
She said Barty may even be “a little bit oblivious” to the fact the entire country has been captivated by her quest for the Aussie Open crown. Activist groups have made good on their promise to take over the Australian Open to raise awareness for their ‘Where is Peng Shuai’ movement. American Collins faces a daunting task in the women’s singles final on Rod Laver Arena in front of Barty’s fiercely partisan Australian Open crowd. But the resurgent American is ready to tackle the top seed, and clear favourite.
“But then, you know, just like any other athlete and I think all of us on tour, you know, we have days where we try to get in the zone and we can’t.” The big-hitting Collins will need to bring more than just raw power to counter the tactical nous of Barty, who has been rampant so far, winning 20 of 21 sets this year.
