After her semi-final victory, Ash Barty is one win away from lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish at the Wimbledon Championships Saturday night in the final to be broadcast from 10.30pm on Channel 9 and Stan Sport.
Standing in her way is the Czech Karolína Plíšková, who survived a three-set battle against Aryna Sabalenka in her semi-final.
They last met earlier in the year at the Stuttgart Open where Barty defeated Plíšková in three sets on the way to winning the tournament.
Barty is in commanding form, having also claimed the Yarra Valley Classic and Miami Open, making her the only player to win three titles so far in 2021.
Barty will be fighting to claim her first Wimbledon title and her second Grand Slam.
Fans are encouraged to cheer Ash on by sharing pictures and videos of how they are getting into the Wimbledon spirit and backing our homegrown champion.
Tag in @Channel9, @WWOS and @TennisAustralia and let’s get #AceItAsh trending.
Barty won’t be the only Aussie in the finals Saturday night with Dylan Alcott playing in his second Wimbledon quad wheelchair singles final against rival, Sam Schröder.
The defending champ will be looking to continue his quest to a “golden slam” of all four major titles and the Paralympics.
Tune in on Saturday night to catch our favourite Aussies in action.
Terrible commentating on this match. Whoever the male commentator is Very pro
Pliskova
Hi Mary – which one? There were two, both Aussies, and they both delivered their commentary without favour for mine.
