Ashleigh Barty v. Elina Svitolina | 2019 WTA Finals

[@tzazzy]

Barty has an all-court game with the following weapons: serve, forehand, varied backhand. Love her game when she is ON. Congratulations Ashleigh. I'll be tuning in to watch you next season.

Well done Barty. That Svitolina is an arrogant . So happy she did not win

[@josephwalsh1375]

I agree about the court coverage and forehand, but there's players on the wta with better slices: Hsieh, for instance. Radwanska if she hadn't retired, would also be better in that department. I think Barty overuses the slice. Even with the current field, she will be found out next year as players find ways to nullify her slice backhand, but I do hope she does well at the Aussie Open. Australia has suffered enough with very good players not winning in their own backyard over the years..

[@101poumi]

Joseph Walsh nah Barty has the best slice in wta since Graf and henin . She can hit winners and hit it anywhere .

So happy for Ashleigh, this was really her year. I’ve been a fan since 2014 and have always known how talented she is and wondered when her time would come. Hope she gets another slam in 2020!

[@furionese]

I never get tired of watching Barty's tennis - she plays with brain and finesse, and wins. So many tools in her bag and very unpredictable. Outstanding around net. And, that best sliced backhand. I wonder if she grew up playing primarily with one-handed backhand (like Graff) and learned to hit double-handed topspin later on.

[@phucluu100]

There's two things in Ash Barty's game which are rarely talked about, her service and her forehand, both are consistent and lethal.

[@ynot7787]

Actually her volleying, overhead put aways and court coverage have not been talked about much. Barty should start believing she can win even if she is not hitting aces. Directing more kick serves at opponents can throw them off balance. I believe she can be more dangerous and unpredictable in 2020 by approaching the net more often.

[@gseric4721]

I couldn't be prouder of Ash. When I became a fan last year, I believed that by this time she would be world no. 1 in doubles and in the top 12 in singles. I'm still kinda hoping she can take the top spot in doubles some day, but being world #1 in singles and finishing at the top in the WTA Finals just shows just how her game has improved, and it couldn't have been done without her circle and fanbase. And well done to Svitolina on making consecutive Finals appearances. 👏👏👏

[@pwellington767]

My two favourite players in the draw and sad one had to lose. Both ladies play intriguing tennis, especially Ashleigh’s game and i have a permanent grin on my face when I watch them. It is not all about power but technique and skills and speed and clever play. This mix that both women show has reinvigorated women’s tennis. I love Venus and Serena, but they need to add more o this kind of play to their games as these younger players have figured out how to overcome strength, speed and power play. How Ashleigh failed to win Wimbledon 2019 is still puzzling to me. She is truly a worthy number 1, regardless of only having won 1 major. Well done WTA for putting on such a tasty spread this week. I have been lying in my bed and waited for the highlights to appear which have kept me royally entertained. Thank you all ladies of the 2019 WTA Final. Well done. Each one of you had earned your break. The WTA has a bright future and there is Coco Gauff waiting in the wings for next year. Mouthwatering prospects. I aim to be here in this life this time next year, regardless of this #CancerBattle. So let it be Almighty God. Thank you.

[@reebul8768]

Can't even lie, i'm very very impressed with Barty. She's not infallible, but she's a thinking tennis player who sets up points well and has the best slice in womens tennis. For me: 1. Halep 2. Barty 3. Osaka 4. Andreescu

[@shngain100]

Halep just rely too much on her court speed and just don't use her head sometimes. Her serve is not that good lately and she seem like she has phobia coming to the net. Her matches against Elina and Pliskova were both in her hands but let it go in the latter stages of the set. Guaranteed she had not played competitively much since the US Open but I hope she'll win 1-2 slams along with an Olympic medal next season.

This , is Women's TENNIS at its best. These two young ladies are along it look easy. Although I am partial to Svitolina, I cannot be surprised at Barty. I enjoy seeing one-handed play coming back to be the norm for tennis. I saw two-handed first used by Cris Evert against Martina way back in the day& I was surprised at how she was allowed to use that repeatedly! I expected her to be penalized...everyone started doing except for the Europeans. For me , tennis should be played one-handed, the idea being that the racket was an extension of your arm. That's what I loved about Amelie Mauresmo, Francesca Sciavone, Justine Henin's & a few that could pull it off. Two-handed tennis seemed like baseball. This match btwn Barty & Svitolina showed that. A great match it was indeed! Grace, precision, speed, power,& no grunting!

[@deusexmachina9776]

I find it funny that the WTA loves to push the whole 'equal pay' message yet this tournament is giving out more prize money than the ATP final. Seems like equal pay is only an issue when men are getting more money. PS: This just creates a larger gap between the top 8 players and players on the other end who struggle to get from one tournament to the next.

[@Balladhoe]

Deus Ex Machina Thé equal pay message is for grand slams and tournaments where men and women compete at the same time (Indian Wells and Miami) The WTA NEVER meddles with what the ATP tournaments offer to the men. For example there are many ATP 500 tournaments that give way more prize money than the premier tournaments on the WTA but nobody is fussing over it because the tours are different. Don’t demonise one over the other. Women aren’t fussing without reason and Men are certainly not at the losing end in this case...

Svitolina does not seem to have grown or added anything new to her game. Her stagnations maybe due to the fact that she played so many tournaments without taking a step back to examine her previous loss and learn from her mistakes. Barty did so which is why she won.
