Ashleigh Barty is a win away from becoming the first woman in 12 years to claim successive US Open doubles titles after making the final with Victoria Azarenka.

"There are a lot of experts out in the world. There are a lot of people who think they know my team and my body and my decision and my thinking," Barty told AAP.

"I'm here enjoying my time playing singles and doubles - I don't do it every week - but the weeks that we do, I think we've certainly made the most of it."Azarenka, also a former world No.1 but chasing a first grand slam doubles trophy, also leapt to Barty's defence.Champion last year with Coco Vandeweghe, Barty said it was"really cool" to earn another crack at grand slam glory.

Barty and Azarenka will meet either Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka or Vania King and Caroline Dolehide in Sunday's final.

The kiss: let's revise the rules of engagementComment: Thank goodness Leigh Sales has finally called it out. It is time for Australia to talk about kissing. Unwanted, unwarranted kissing, that is. Not just of women, but of little girls too It’s not a one way street. The horror of being a young man getting a slobbering kiss forced on you from aunt Gertrude at Xmas really wrecks the holidays Yes, let’s talk about kissing. A huge reason I would never bring my spouse to any diplomatic engagement. Those without my level of intimate awareness, with regards to approaching any of the females I know and respect, I would much rather have kiss my fist. I dunno I spent time in the ME & with French peeps, 2-3 kisses is a sign of great respect, not creepiness. Perhaps travel more & meet some REAL MEN 😉 Australia aint all that girl
