Australian Barty Wins Wimbledon Women's Title
Voice of America
Top-seeded Ashleigh Barty became the first Australian to win the Wimbledon women's singles tennis title in 41 years on Saturday in London.
Barty defeated the Czech Republic's Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3 to claim the title in the first three-setter in a Wimbledon final since 2012. It's the second Grand Slam title for Barty, who won the French Open in 2019. "I didn't sleep a lot last night. I was thinking of all the ‘what ifs,’ but when I came out on this court today I felt at home, in a way," Barty said. "... And I think being able to share that with everyone here and share that with my team is incredible."More Related News
