Re: The Barty Party Reply #15 – June 08, 2019, 12:28:43 pm Quote from: laj – on June 08, 2019, 12:24:31 pmTeenagers making finals is always scary. Often have ability but haven't been round long enough to get up the rankings. Semi final scared me for that reason, especially as the other girl knocked off Halep in the previous round.The way Barty has picked up clay is extraordinary, but relative to the Czech she must still be less "up to date" on that surface.I thought the variable conditions helped Barty last game, she handled the wind and drizzle much better than the US kid, particularly serving into the wind, the US kid obviously preferred playing in perfect Florida conditions or indoors!

Re: The Barty Party Reply #26 – June 09, 2019, 12:41:00 pm I've a feeling she won't have a long career, she comes across as a person who wants a balanced life, far from having a monolithic approach like some of the tennis robots!It came across like a win as a consequence of not worrying too much about it, yet still a desire to be professional and respectful! Almost Swed like! Quote Selected Last Edit: June 09, 2019, 12:45:44 pm by LP

Almost Swed like!I think that her break from tennis and brief flirtation with cricket shows that Ash has a pretty good idea about what’s best for her. That said, I’d be surprised if she doesn’t contest more than a few grand slam titles over the next four or five years ... and I hope she wins more than her share over a much longer career.
