Ash Barty has been termed “unbeatable” by one of our best ever players and it’s hard to argue when her big weapons keep firing.
But it didn’t worry Barty too much as she hit straight back to return the match to serve.
Once again, her slice was on show as Barty controlled the tempo, drawing praise from Kiki Bertens’ former coach Raemon Sluiter.Strong cross, keepitintherally-cross, givingtheopponentnopace-cross, bringingtheopponentinveryuncomfortably-cross, slidingit juststrongenoughtonotmovearound-cross. Control is just off the charts!And her serve was once again outstanding as she hit two-thirds of her first serves, unleashed seven aces and won 78 per cent of her points on first serve.
Speaking with Courier post-match, Barty said this year’s Australian Open has been a lot more fun than last year thanks to the crowd support.
