Young Ash Barty just cleaned up Angie Kerber in straight sets to be the first semi finalist in the Elite Trophy in Zuhai.
Served the match out with back to back aces.
Remarkable turnaround for this young lady and much kudos to her!
Yes, she has done really well since coming back to tennis. It's a credit to her character!
Currently ranked 16 in the world. Unfortunately she is a mad Tiger but is mentored by a Blues tragic in Casey Dellaqua. One of the nicest girls on the circuit, regardless of what Margaret Court thinks!
Both great girls and a fantastic effort from Ash. Not that long ago she gave it away to play team sport...
Going through a purple patch
She's looking a hell of a lot fitter too....
She'll be top 10 within 6 months.
Sammy who?
