Share on Twitter Ash Barty has won her first Wimbledon crown, beating Karolina Pliskova in a nerve-shredding final to become the first Australian to win the women s singles title for 41 years. Just like her idol and mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley half a century earlier, Barty, another Indigenous Australian, annexed the Venus Rosewater Dish but she needed real steel to go with the style on Saturday to win 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3 on Centre Court. The Ngarigo woman had said she would have to play the match of her life to become the first Australian woman since Goolagong Cawley in 1980 to take the crown and she did just that, breaking the most feared serve in the competition six times.
