Re: The Barty Party Reply #60 – July 09, 2021, 05:27:48 pm This should be an easy one for Ash, has been untroubled in this tournament thus far. She means business.
Re: The Barty Party Reply #61 – July 09, 2021, 07:08:19 pm Business-like is a good way of summing her up. In AFL terms, I reckon she’s like Joel Selwood. She can talk well, but obviously would prefer to avoid doing so. She’s all about team: she talks about “We did this or that” including her support team rather than talking about herself. She’s serious and determined. She’s basically the opposite of Kyrgios in every way. 1 Likes
Re: The Barty Party Reply #62 – July 09, 2021, 08:20:57 pm 41 years is a long time to wait .... at least it's not a williams sister. She's "uncluttered". Believe she deserves it as well
Re: The Barty Party Reply #64 – July 11, 2021, 12:14:40 am About to serve for the match. Come on Ash.
Re: The Barty Party Reply #66 – July 11, 2021, 12:22:26 am Ash's first serve has deserted her. Headed for 3 sets.
Re: The Barty Party Reply #67 – July 11, 2021, 12:40:13 am The crowd is definitely cheering louder when Pliskova wins a point, they dont like us convicts.

But I wonder why someone who is so freakishly blessed with hand/eye coordination doesn’t have a topspin backhand. Maybe her ability to win without one emphasises what a competitor she is.
Re: The Barty Party Reply #71 – July 11, 2021, 07:10:28 am That ended up a fine match. Ash just wore her down. Take a bow young lady !!

Re: The Barty Party Reply #73 – July 11, 2021, 08:37:22 am I can see a new uncirculated carded 50 cent coin coming with the Wimbledon ladies plate as the central piece. The RAM know how to cash in on anything commercial.
Re: The Barty Party Reply #74 – January 20, 2022, 03:13:06 pm Not a big fan of tennis in general but I don't mind watching closely matched top seeds as long as there is little grunting.From what I can see the Aust Open is following the global pandemic trend and greatly favouring players who have had the better run-in preparation regardless of seeding.The pandemic seems to be the great leveller!
