A kindShleigh Barty finally ended Australia after 41 years seemingly endlessly waiting for the next Wimbledon championship. On Saturday, the world’s number one woman won the most prestigious tennis championship title for the first time in the final with 6:3, 6:7 (4:7), and 6:3, against Caroline Czech Republic in the final. Karolina Pliskova-then she put her hands on her face in doubt.
As the last Australian to date, Evonne Goolang Cawley (Evonne Goolang Cawley) won the London lawn in 1980. Leighton Hewitt was the last Australian to achieve this goal in 2002. For the 25-year-old Batty, this is her second title in one of the four Grand Slam tournaments following the success of the French Open in 2019. However, the 29-year-old Pliskova must continue to wait for their first victory in a Grand Slam tournament. The former world number one player also lost in the 2016 U.S. Open finals before losing to Angelique Kerber in the semifinals against Barty on Thursday.
Barty started the game like a flash, leading 3-0 after just six minutes. The first 14 points came from an all-around player near Brisbane, and then she backhanded into the net. When Pliskova won the first point and plucked up the courage for the world’s No. 13 player, 15,000 spectators on the center court applauded. But the Czech who served such a strong serve, after a double error, fell behind 0:4. With a faint smile, she recorded the victory of the first game with a score of 1:4, when Batty staggered on his serve for the first time.
Discussion in the Royal Box
Women’s tennis legends Martina Navratilova (Martina Navratilova) and Billie Jean King (Billie Jean King) excitedly discussed what happened when they changed hands in the royal box behind Kate and Prince William thing. Navratilova also directly explained to Kate what happened on the lawn. They saw Pliskova fail her service in the third attempt, but then found that the game was a little better, even though the settings had disappeared.
Four weeks after Barbora Krejcikova’s unexpected French Open coup, the Czech Republic seems to have a long way to go for its next success. Under the guidance of German coach Sascha Bajin, Pliskova trailed 3-1 in the second set despite her economies of scale. The 1.66-meter-high Batty showed tension in front of the finish line.
Finally there was tension and more classes in the eighth duel between the two. Batty failed to win the championship with a 6:5 lead with his serve, and lost the tie-break after two turnovers. In the decisive game, Pliskova allowed Batty to score and rewritten the score to 2-0 with a slight volley error. Despite all the efforts, he fell behind again. This time in vain, the favorite kept the lead and breathed a sigh of relief after 1:55 hours.
