She's still been on the tour since 2014 and whilst she did hit it later than others - there are likely reasons for that, being that she's not a supremely talented player.

I rate Keys much higher than Collins in terms of raw ability and Ash dispatched her in straight sets.

I'm not knocking Collins at all, but I do think people have maybe been hoodwinked a bit and are making her into something she isn't. Collins is a tough tough competitor, who puts it all behind every point.

Unfortunatley, she's going to need more than that to beat an in form Barty - in my view and she doesn't have that.

She did beat Barty in Adelaide last year. Is Barty better january 2021?

Off court the Open has been a crapfest but we have seen some great tennis.
Hopefully it's a dull one tonight, Barty in 2 & the twot twins get flogged.

The whole of Australia will be watching tonight and the pressure of breaking the drought.

But in typical Ash style she won’t let it faze her she’ll just continue what she has been doing this whole tournament and bring home the

Let’s get the Barty Party started

Adelaide was after the slam finished last year, no one cared. Swiatek beat Collins in Adelaide last year, did not help her getting mercilessly destroyed by Collins in the semi the other day. Head to heads in tennis are pretty much meaningless unless they are significantly lopsided ala Nadal v Federer where there is a technical element at play.

Why not put the doubles on this afternoon and preserve some dignity for the womens final tonight?

Working overseas (SE Asia) many moons ago, we sent a few of our senior local staff to Australia for training. When they returned I asked them how was their experience. The office manager pipes up and says; "It was great, but you all sound like Geese!"... G'Day mate, OK mate, Sure mate, See ya mate, No worries mate, Morning mate, What's that mate, mate, mate, mate, mate, mate..!

I hope someone parachutes into RLA wearing a Where is Pang Shuai ? shirt.

Maybe the KIA motors person can also ask the question.

Also Craig Tiley and Jane Hrdlicka should get booed during the ceremony.

Big night for Australian tennis. Any of us under 45 haven't seen an Aussie lift the singles trophy in Melbourne. And no Aussie has won at Melbourne Park. Hope Ash can win tonight.

I'm on my way to the game.. and I don't even know who the Kokk and King are playing against.. who are they again and that re?

You wouldn't, as according to the media Ebden and Purcell are nobodies - gee I hope they thrash Curious Nick and his side-kick..! Although, with an unseeded vs a wild card pair anything could happen..?

If Barty can

• play her natural game
• dictate play
• move the chess pieces around
• obtain a higher % of first serve points won
• have less unforced errors

she will win
