Best of Ash Barty's incredible Australian Open campaign | Wide World of Sports

[@JennS75]

I miss Ash so much. It's crazy how she just kept doing the same strategy over and over again. Such incredible angles, just running everybody back and forth until they can no longer get to it. Like a puppetmaster. I learn so much from her.

[@purplecoffinman8510]

What a note to retire on. I think it's a real shame she did, her vs swiatek as a rivalry had the potential to be insanely entertaining

[@rohitsankaria6476]

That poise and balance which then lends on such beautiful timing on Barty's shots. Has such a belief in her abilities that she never looked fazed by the situation especially the second set against Danielle Collins. Always has extra second to play her shot, has great footwork and topped with absolutely fantastic temperament and demeanour. Top class player and a true champion Ash Barty.

Wow could you believe how many photos there must be of this Historically emotional time , that will last forever for me, look forward to seeing more

[@mobius3001]

Ash really did wipe the floor with everyone in her last tournament. Absolutely mental.

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

let it be remembered in history that Ash went out on top, as the world no 1. None of her rivals could beat her. A modern day Graf, with that slice and variety. Her forehand & serve was so good.

[@tennissir1986]

No - not a good comparison. Graf had a significantly longer period of time at the top.

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

I meant more from a playing style standpoint. Although Graf did win the french open and made the wimbledon final in her last year 1999. Which showed dominace at the end@@tennissir1986

[@tennissir1986]

@@user-be5qg7mr1s Silly comparison - Graf played 2 decades.

[@notis6107]

Many of her rivals could beat her but anyway

[@SmithyPL]

1. Ash was no.1 for 60+ weeks due to COVID no.1 rankings without playing matches 2. Iga would dethrone Ash with her own scores after 2022 Stuttgart Open if Ash didn't retire

Ash, I miss you... ❤️

[@brooke3724]

I already know I'm watching this again, thankyou wide world of Sports

[@nbalivemobiletutorials2457]

I miss Ash Barty 🥺

[@brooke3724]

Love you Ash

[@saltnugget]

look at her serves omg

[@stefan-andreisava8264]

Barry was on another level. Not even prime Iga can get to this level. Ash has some Federer-like moves, shots. Could have easily win AG least 1-2 Grand Slams a year.

[@amerajanovic4841]

Ofc prime Iga can get to this level, in fact, she has already reached and surpassed this level, without even reaching her own prime. It would have been amazing having the 2 of them play at their respective primes together and dominating the tour like once FedAl did. I miss Ash greatly, but it was her decision and quite frankly, as a huge fan, I can't forgive her for it.. But why people can't just appreciate 2 different styles of game reaching amazing heights is beyond me. It's like saying Rafa could never reach Roger's level lol

[@notis6107]

Iga has hard surpassed barty whether you like it or not

[@Lederius18]

Wow! She took out 4 Americans in a row: Anisimova, Pegula, Keys and Collins! On one hand it is incredible that Americans have such talent but on the other hand we were single handedly destroyed! LOL how I miss Barty!
