2022 Australian Open Final: Ashleigh Barty vs. Danielle Collins

[kskate2]

Oops. Sorry.

 

[Moxie]

I'm just going to say again how much I loved seeing Goolagong! I only realized recently that Ash has aboriginal roots.

 

[Moxie]

I'm old and I love Yvonne as a player.

Drinks all around, when Rafa wins!

Yeah right I have heard that before.

[Moxie]

Come to NYC!

 

[Vince Evert]

AWWW kskate2 what do you reckon went wrong? Did Collins let the partisan crowd get to her when serving for the second set? Or did she plainly choked? I think it was more the latter.

 

[Moxie]

If she didn't walk into that match prepared to be slagged by the crowd, she should fire her team.

 

[kskate2]

no, she plainly choked. Because she did it against Mertens and Cornet. She had big leads, and both times served for the set and was broken. She was able to turn those matches in her favor though. A lot harder to do against #1 at home

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ash is doing press with Alicia Molik and Casey Dellaqua now

 

[Moxie]

well-said, K.

 

[Moxie]

She had that set in the bag, and Ash on the ropes. We were surely going 3, and then, not.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come to NYC!

For 3 drinks you owe me ..........Come On! lol!

 

[kskate2]

Well it's just like on the men's side. They have the Big 3 on the ropes frequently and fail to put them away. I just don't want her to complain about crowd noise in the presser later

 

[Moxie]

I said drinks all around when Rafa wins, meaning we all drink. You don't have to travel for 3 free ones. lol

When Collins wasnt getting first serves in I knew she was going down

 

[kskate2]

you know Mox, they make these things called gift cards that can be bought in any currency...

 

[Moxie]

Absolutely...we saw that in real time.

 

[Moxie]

LOL, K...yes, or I could send her a PayPal. Don't give MM any ideas.

Collins was playing against a Aussie on home soil and going for Aussie history,I mean what can she expect
