[X_box_X]

It will be Collins.

I've already got on it.

Barty is beating four Americans in a row on her way to her maiden Aus Open.

Never in doubt.

I'll be throwing some cash on Ash to beat Collins -8.5 games.

 

[samFFC]

Brutal. Wow.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Collins and Barty have played each other twice over the past two years on a hard court. A fairly comfortable straight sets win to Collins last year and a tight three setter with Barty winning in a final set tiebreak.

I'd say if Collins plays at this level she can beat ash on Sunday.

Barty killed her in Adelaide a fortnight ago.

 

[Sprout]

******* hell. Does she have some condition that prevents her from smiling?

 

[deanc]

I reckon Swiateks weakest surface is grass.

Gee, this was Godzilla vs Bambi, thanks god that's over..!

That was Swiatek not Collins

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

That was Swiatek not Collins

She beat both.

Edit - Collins was in 2021. Barty leads 3-1 overall.

 

[BobbyMorri]

She beat both.

the year is 2022 .

and 3 sets is not a easy win.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I’ll be shocked if ash lost surely she wins after being so dominant

 

[MrBarry]

Jesus she's not the most likeable person on tour is Collins, never seen her crack a smile.

 

[catstorm]

She beat both.

Ahh I think you need to look at the Date on that.

Its womens tennis. Anything can happen

I hope Ash beats her to a pulp

Please get rid of the nutcases yelling soooooiiiiii please,what dickheads.

Trolling is reserved for the internet not the tennis.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Yep, edited.

Still, she leads 3-1 and won their last meeting easily. pepsi must have missed that encounter.

Yes. I got the year wrong.

But their last meeting was a straight sets win to Barty, was it not?

 

[pepsi]

Incorrect. The last time they played was in Australia in 2021 and it was a fairly comfortable win for Collins in straight sets. Their other match on a hard court was a very close match in which Ash won in a 3rd set tiebreak.

Collins can beat Ash on Saturday.

 

[Xtreme]

Reckon Barty might be in a bit of strife.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Kenin plays a different game from Collins but she has the same personality. Kenin shocked barty in 2020. If if Collins can get on top of the rallies, then there is a real chance. I doubt it, but Collins was well prepared for Swiatek. I am expecting the same against Barty. if Collins plays like this, it should be fun.

 

[pepsi]

Yes. I got the year wrong.

I made mention in my post that their two matches on a hard court are split at one all. I don't think a clay court result is all that relevant to this discussion.

Oops, my bad.

Gift snd BobbyMorri consider me facepalmed.

Yes, she seems a very intense individual, don't like anyone's chances if they burnt her steak or under cooked her pasta - doubt Tom Couch get's much of a say in anything..?
Fortunately Barty is not the fluffy bunny Swiatek just portrayed, so should be a interesting final...

Found a short clip from Danielle Collins's childhood:

Depends which Barty shows up.

If Barty can serve high percentage and keep rally balls deep, then she wins.

If she is nervous and drops balls mid court, they will get wacked and she will lose.

 

[catstorm]

No she lost the most recent encounter 6-3 6-4 last year. Mate I’m not sure but you seem to struggle to understand what you are posting as evidence is actually proving the opposite of what you are saying.

All good. Just go get those reading glasses already
