• Impressive display secures first grand slam title
Ashleigh Barty always tells it like it is, so when she described her straight-sets win over the Czech teenager Marketa Vondrousova to become the first Australian to win a singles title at the French Open since Margaret Court 46 years ago, it had the ring of authenticity.
They say it is easy to take offence for the wrong reasons in Paris, but, as accidental as the late start of this afterthought of a women’s final might have been, the game and tournament owe their new champion gratitude for a stunning win.
