Australian Open: Top Seed Ash Barty Crushes Madison Keys to Make Women's Singles Final

News 18  

A ruthless Ashleigh Barty swept into her first Australian Open final on Thursday with the top seed outgunning a resurgent Madison Keys in a clinical, straight-sets demolition. Barty is the first Australian woman into the decider of her home Grand Slam since Wendy Turnbull in 1980 and is aiming to become the first winner since Chris O’Neil two years earlier. I just tried to run and adapt, make as many balls as I could and keep Maddie under the pump on her serve because she has the ability to really take it away from you quickly.” ‘AMAZING HUMAN BEING’ Barty paid tribute to Keys, a former top-10 player who is on the rise again after difficult couple of years. Keys’ first double fault handed Barty two set points and she slammed a forehand return to take the set in just 26 minutes.
