Ash Barty is set to use her grand slam experience with left-handed doubles partner Casey Dellacqua to counter teenage sensation Marketa Vondrousova in the French Open final.

Should Vondrousova beat Barty, she'll put her name alongside the likes of Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Chris Evert, Steffi Graf, Martina Hingis and Monica Seles as under-20s who have prevailed at Roland Garros.

The Australian has won the two previous encounters between the pair — a 2017 straight-sets win on Birmingham's grass and the following year, a victory on Cincinnati's hard courts, also in straight sets. "She's mixing it also like me, so I think it's going to be interesting match. It's a final, and I'm just gonna focus and try to relax."Barty has had plenty of support from all corners of the globe on her meteoric rise to the French Open final, but two supporters she'll have to do without on Saturday are her parents, who will have just landed in the UK ahead of the grass-court season.

The legendary Rod Laver says there's"no question" Barty can become the first Australian singles champion at Roland Garros.

Yes Ash has been there in many Dubs Finals & that'll give her some confidence 👍 She's just gotta play her own game & if things go amiss, like last nite lol 😬 She's shown she can adapt! That is wat a Champion does! 😁 goAsh RolandGarros itsyourtime 💪

abcmelbourne How good is it to see ashbar96 rip shreds at rolandgarros?! Freak talent. Dead set legend. Easily Australia’s greatest sporting talent at the moment.

All the best of luck to her. Now let’s not crush the girl with over the top expectations. Let her get do what she’s been doing. We have a habit of piling on. Soon comparisons to greats of the past will start and talk of how she could be our next greatest sports star.

Is Marketa an indigenous Czech? Or a non-indigenous Czech after the colonisation of Czechoslovakia🇨🇿 by the blood Germans 🇩🇪 & blood Russians 🇷🇺 as recently as before D-Day?
