Ashleigh Barty, The World No.1 defeated Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 in the women’s singles final of the Wimbledon Championship and became the first Australian woman to win the Wimbledon singles title after 41 years on Saturday at the Centre Court, London.

This is incredible. I genuinely have to thank every single person in this stadium, you have made my dream so special, so thank you so much.

“At the start of the third set, I told myself to just keep fighting. Karolina is a wonderful competitor, she really brought out the best from me today. It was an exceptional match from the start and I knew I had to play to my best level. I was really proud of the way I reset after losing the second set, and then I just kept on going and kept on chipping away, and managed to hold my nerve,” Ashleigh Barty said in the post-match interview.

This was the first time a women’s singles final of the Wimbledon Championship went to a third set since 2012. In 2012, Serena Williams had defeated Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 in three sets at the women’s final, lifted her fifth Wimbledon title, and 14th grand slam singles championship.

Ashleigh Barty became the first Australian woman to win a Wimbledon singles title since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980. She became the 4th junior Wimbledon champion to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish, joining Ann Jones, Martina Hingis, and Amélie Mauresmo. She had also won the US Open title in 2018. And with this Wimbledon title, she won her second Grand Slam title.

Ashleigh Barty’s Journey

A decade ago, the 25-year-old was the junior champion at Wimbledon then she took a break from tennis in 2014. And a year later, she played in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), Australia’s T20 competition. Barty featured in a total of 10 matches and her highest score was 39, but then she eventually decided to return to her main sport, Tennis.

“It truly was an amazing period of my life. I met an amazing group of people who couldn’t care less whether I could hit a tennis ball or not. They accepted me, and they got to know Ash Barty. They got to know me. I still have those relationships to this very day. I got an amazing amount of messages over the last couple of days from those cricket girls who were some of my best friends,” Barty had said on her cricket career earlier.

“The way they are accepting of someone new coming into their locker room, into their dressing room, and into their sport was amazing. They are truly an incredible group of girls that I know I’ll have a relationship with for the rest of my life and a friendship with for the rest of my life,” she added.
