Ashleigh Barty vs Kiki Bertens • Sydney 2019

Ash really should win.
Playing well and has the home ground advantage. She made it look easy against mertens yesterday who a top player. On paper it should have been a closer match but Barty simply too good.

These smaller leadup tournaments in australia still draw a good crowd...because aussies are sport crazy. She will get the support which has to be worth something

Having said all that, i think it will be close...but have to go with Ash barty.... only just.

Uuuuu Kiki in 3

It promises to be a good fight.
I pick Ash but I'd be happy if Kiki wins, for her revenge :p

I, for one, appreciate their efforts.

Also, underestimating any player isn’t wise, Tarek. Just look what happened to Elina in Brisbane ;)

Ash’s variety and ability to get one more ball back in play is what caused Kiki to come undone today. Excellent match.

Come on ash

These two are all tennis right now!

I saw kvitova yesterday, I guess she will win Sydney as easy as winning against kerber ??

Come on Ash... finish her off!!!

...or two?

...Yea Petra is head an showers above....

OK what is wrong with Kiki....her body language is....

I couldn't see the match but if wee look the highlights, what a performance after the first set!
