MELBOURNE, Australia — Ash Barty will no longer need to overthink the 1970s when she prepares for the Australian Open.

Barty now has Grand Slam singles titles on three surfaces, adding the hard court at Melbourne Park to her win on grass at Wimbledon last year and on clay at the 2019 French Open. She joins Serena Williams as the only active players on the women's tour with majors on all three surfaces. "I'm an incredibly fortunate and lucky girl to have so much love in my corner," Barty said, thanking her coach and support team, her family, the tournament organizers and the crowd.

Collins twice served for the set and twice was within two points of leveling the match and taking her first Grand Slam final to a deciding set. "As an Aussie, the most important part of this tournament is being able to share it with so many people," Barty said."This crowd is one of the most fun I've ever played in front of. You relaxed me, forced me to play my best tennis."
