Australia has got what it wanted, so far. A massive Barty Party is about to break out, there’s only one more match go, but there’s a flat hitting American looking to crash this thing, even though the decorations are already up.

Do not count out Danielle Collins, Barty might lead the head to head 3-1, but the way the 28 year old from Florida absolutely demolished former French Open Champion Iga Swiatek in the semis this will not be destiny driven. Continue reading Australian Open Womens Final Preview 2022 →

The season’s third Grand Slam is here. Excitement is at fever pitch in Australia for the chances of new world number one Ash Barty, but this will be no easy task for the Queenslander to win two Slams in a row. The big W has made the grass slower than Mr. Magoo’s driving but we’ll go with it and hope for at least some serve and volley. Continue reading Wimbledon Preview 2019 →
