Ash Barty crowned Wimbledon champion breaking 41 year drought
By
Australia, we have a new Wimbledon champion. The 41-year drought is over.
World number one Ash Barty staked her place in history overnight with a stunning three-set 6-3, 6-7 (7/4), 6-3 victory over eighth-seeded Czech Karolína Plískova.
Barty, 25, became the first Aussie woman to claim the Wimbledon ladies’ singles title since fellow Indigenous Australian Evonne Goolagong Cawley did in 1980.
The newly-crowned Barty shed tears after the match, describing her win as a “miracle” that allows her to join her idol as tennis royalty.
“The stars aligned for me over the past fortnight,” said Barty.
