Patroness of the WTA circuit for a year and a half, Ashleigh Barty hopes to drive the point home on Saturday January 29 by winning a first coronation in Melbourne, in front of her audience. With two Majors in her pocket and a flawless run so far (no set lost and 21 games conceded in six games), the Australian is the big favourite.
Opposite, the American Danielle Collins will discover the pressure of a first Grand Slam final at 28 years old. In bulldozer mode during the previous rounds, the No. 27 seed will do everything to shorten the rallies and get rid of Barty’s backhand slices. What no one has managed to do for fifteen days. In direct confrontations, the Australian leads three victories to one.
