Ashleigh Barty is newWimbledon Queen Elvidio Miranda In the summit clash of the Wimbledon women's singles, Australia's Asheigh Barty beat 13th seed Czech Karolina Pliskova, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7}, 6-3 in just under two hours in an enthralling match replete with sensational court craft and thrilling rallies, to defend her top seeding and also as the world's No. 1 women's player. In the process, Barty, became the first Australian women's tennis winner of Wimbledon since 1980 when her idol Evonne Goolagong Cawley won it. Barty thus added another Grand Slam to her collection, after her win at the 2019 French Open, which was her first Grand Slam title. Karolina Pliskova, who is the former world No. 1 exhibited her solid fighting spirit as she went on to clinch the second set in the tie-breaker, and became the worthy runner-up displaying fighting qualities though she denied herself her first Grand Slam title which has eluded her. She thus still becomes a former world women's No. 1 who has failed to win a Grand Slam like the consistent Dinara Safina of Russia. Barty, by winning the Wimbledon has thus demonstrated that she can be the best in the slow clay courts of Roland Garros as well the relatively fast grass surface of Wimbledon.
