Ash Barty is just one match away from becoming Australia’s first ever female singles finalist for 42 years after a 63-minute demolition job against Jessica Pegula last night.
The final score read 6-2 6-0 but really the match was done and dusted within the very first game. On serve, Pegula had three game points at 40-0 but lacked the conviction to force her way onto the scoreboard or into the contest. It didn’t get any better.
