Ashleigh Barty has become Australia’s first French Open champion in 46 years with a dominant 6-1 6-3 win over Czech teenage sensation Marketa Vondrousova.
Ashleigh Barty has completed her three-year transformation in “perfect” style, lifting her first Grand Slam on Court Philippe-Chatrier in Paris.
The No.8 seed 23-year-old Aussie becomes the first from her country to win a major singles title since Samantha Stosur at the 2011 US Open, securing victory after 70 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
"It's remarkable," Barty said in her post-match press conference. "At the moment it's a bit too much and a bit out there, really. But it's amazing. I mean, we have done the work, and we tried to put ourselves in these positions. Now that we're here, it's just incredible."
