2019 Ws FO Final: Ashleigh Barty (AUS) vs Markéta Vondroušová (CZE)

[helterskelter]

The last two RG finals have had such extreme rollercoasters that i'm not thinking it's over til it's over.

Halep led Ostapenko 6-3 3-0 and lost.
Sloane led Halep 6-4 2-0 and lost.

Barty up 6-1 2-0.

Other way around: Halep led 6-4 3-0 and lost, Stephens led 6-3 2-0 and lost.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

That's a drop shot finally.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Barty's having more success on the dropshots than Vondrousova is.

 

[Standaa]

What a borefest this is.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Amazing get from Ash and she holds for 4-2.

Break now and serve for the title!

 

[Badabing888]

Is this the most one sided Women’s French Open finals since 1988?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Despite the scoreline, it's 'closer' than it seems.

It's been an hour.

Kvitova beat Bouchard 6-3 6-0 in 55 minutes to win Wimbledon in 2014

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Is this the most one sided Women’s French Open finals since 1988?

No. Henin won pretty easy I forgot which one.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Is this the most one sided Women’s French Open finals since 1988?

Not even close.

Sloane thrashed Keys 6-3 6-0 to win the 2017 USO.
Kvitova beat Bouchard 6-3 6-0 in 55 minutes to win Wimbledon in 2014.
Vika thrashed Sharapova 6-3 6-0 to win the Australian Open in 2012.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Barty a game away.

CMONNNN!

 

[Deleted member 293577]

One game away kids!

 

[La Grande]

ffsss I like Marketa, but a Konta vs Barty final would’ve been so much better.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Vondrousova liking that net cord today.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Two points in a row that Ash has clipped the net which has sent the ball long.

Nerves coming in. Please get it done.

Another bad miss and it's 40-15 for Vondrousova. Nerves.

 

[kishnabe]

Barty tennis is easy on the eyes. Only if she had a Single Hander, would be perfect.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Vondrousova with another dropper that Barty got too well and it's deuce.

2 POINTS!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Another net clip. Adv Vondrousova.

Heart in mouth stuff here.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Is this the 2nd Coming of Henin?

She definitely has an upside, we’ll see.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Wow Vondrousova doesn't put it away and it's back to deuce.

Crazy.

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Ash should try to finish here. Gonna be tough serving for the championship

 

[kishnabe]

Nice she picked off that smash.

 

[La Grande]

Match Point

 

[Aussie Darcy]

CHAMPIONSHIP POINT!

 

[helixx]

[Aussie Darcy]

ASH BARTY HAS DONE IT

SHE WINS RG!!!

Incredible!

 

[Steve0904]

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Congratulatons to Barty. She's now in the club she--and every player--wants to join.

[Aussie Darcy]

AMAZING!!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

She deserved her hype

 

[La Grande]

Ash Barty is a Grand Slam winner!

God that makes me so happy, great woman.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ash Barty you absolute legend.

The 2019 Roland Garros champion. The new WTA #2.

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Congrats to Ash, deserving RG champ!
And to the Aussies who have had to suffer thru Krygios and Tomic.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Marketa had a great tournament, just didn’t have it today.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

My girl has done it, i'm ecstatic.

I understand how everyone has felt when they're favorite has won

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Want a teen to win GS but it's not from Vons.

Barty Party continue.

 

[Mainad]

Barty becomes the first Australian player to win the French Open since Court way back in 1973 and the first Australian player to win a Slam since Stosur at the 2011 US Open!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Who would've thought her first grand slam would come on clay?? The girl who adores grass and was a Wimbledon junior champ at 15 gets it done in Paris.

Watch out Wimbledon!!

 

[Steve0904]

Barty not a fan of climbing. Don't blame her, lol.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Barty mentioning Stosur, my heart <3

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Congrats to Ash, deserving RG champ!
And to the Aussies who have had to suffer thru Krygios and Tomic.

..but they're supposed to be the future of the sport, according to the ATP-Obsessives-On-High!

 

[La Grande]

“It’s really nice to play against her today”

I bet it was! Haha

 

[Mr.Lob]

Not much of a match. Congrats to Ash.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Complete dud of a match.

 

[AM75]

Graf trashed Zvereva 6:0 6:0 in 30 minutes or so some 25 years ago.

 

[La Grande]

Marketa in tears as expected. Poor final but she will come again. Truly outclassed today, no shame.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Watch out WTA. Grass is coming.

Barty the favorite for Wimbledon now?

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

I don't get the on court interview on final.

Let the player go to her box is more dramatic.

 

[Steve0904]

That was a clinic. Very enjoyable. Marketa wasn't great especially in the 1st, but Barty kept the pressure on her when so many other girls would've just donated a break and made the match a roller coaster. Very deserving winner.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Barty played like a multi slam champ there, was so clutch all match. Such a deserving winner.

Vondrousova obviously nervy and it definitely wasn't the most high quality slam final but was a good one and a great one as an Australian and #1 Barty fan.

 

[abmk]

Very composed effort and excellent play from Ash Barty. Congratulations to her on becoming a GS champion !
Marketa started off badly, improved to an extent after that, but not near what was required.
