Ashleigh Barty vs Mona Barthel • Australian Open 2017

Barty's Australian. Laver arena covers the crowd space demand.
GO ASH. HIT HER FOR 6!!

I like what you did there Vince

Yes she's good. I expect top 50 if she plays all year

One of very few players on the wta who is good at the net. She actually hits slice approach shots and comes in some times.

I think both would definitely struggle against Venus. But if Barty has a good day she could push her for sure

You got this one too Barty

Cos it is lol

Fingers crossed Barty will get through. Then we'll be left with Ash N Dash.

Sorry Vis I want Ash to win Fed can wait

Yep she started playing in main draws when she was 16. There was loads of hype around her and it was a bit too much so she stopped playing indefinitely. She played cricket for a season in the WBBL for Brisbane heat. Did ok. But has decided to come back to tennis. She's a fair bit bigger and stronger now compared to how she was. Which is helping her.

She has more of a chance then Barthel

Barty to win it 6-3 so people get to see fed berdych and gooch is happy :p

Great performance this week Ash. Hope you stick to it. Big future ahead if you want it.

Why is this on laver?

Common ash.. break please

Is it seriously an wta match..... Just one break..???

Ash just struggling with some nerves in the big points tonight. Hasn't played for 18 months it's to be expected.

I think Barty is definitely the better player of the two here. Just needs to control those nerves Ash and you'll get this

Yep i think so too

Barty would come out with nothing to lose and play way better then she is here. She feels like this is a big chance for her and the pressure is getting to her a little. If she played her best here this match would be over

Yep - Fingers crossed she can get the win

Is roof closed... how long folks... common Ash.

Come on Ash you got this

Yess Ash now hang on

All I'm going to say is, I'm betting on barty

Why the fuck would they changed it to the main channel. Should've left it on 7two

Chance to make the 4th round, wow.

Any good of a player gooch? Haven't seen her play because of eurosport being idiots :p

Haha cheers. I'll keep an eye out :p

Yes hope neither crash as new hope
