[Fiero425]

Like her mentor Evonne Goolagong, Ash Barty won her three singles slams in the same sequence:.RG, Wimbledon and Australian Open.

Great seeing Goolagong @ the awards ceremony for Barty!! What is she 70? Looks great! You must be so proud! Almost a clean sweep w/ dubs! ;-)

I have no idea Tossip

Osaka lost respect after her antics.I hope Barty surpasses her in the slam count.

 

[tossip]

Ash Barty joins Serena Williams as the only two active players to have won majors on all three surfaces.

She is now in elite company.

Well all Ash needs now to complete career slam is to win the USO

What "antics?" Please?

I seriously believe she'll do it.

 

[tossip]

Madison Keys can learn a lot from Barty about pride in heritage.Barty embraces all parts of herself and is not ashamed of her genetics.

Roland Garros..hello

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I seriously believe she'll do it.

I read an interview Chris Clarey did with Barty's coach regarding the USO,Craig said it was the tennis balls used at the USO that were too light,it really does not help Barty and her style of game.We could sneak our balls over to the USO noone would notice lol!

She'll adapt. If she were "all but the French," I'd worry about it, but she started there. I have no doubts she'll get there.

If Ash can win on dirt a surface she dosent like,and she adapted,she can adapt to the light balls,

That's what I'm saying, plus, she has years to do it. No one thought Rafa would get the USO, way back when, but with better reason. Ash has a lot of Slams in her, and the USO is on the cards, I'm sure.
