Australia’s Ashleigh Barty celebrates after winning against Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova during their women’s singles final match at the 2019 French Open in Paris June 8, 2019. — AFP pic
Barty’s 6-1, 6-3 thrashing of Czech teenager Marketa Vondrousova in the Roland Garros final propelled her to number two in the world and Laver said she had all the attributes to win on grass, a surface she favours over clay. “You could see her concentration has been much better. Sometimes before, when she missed something she would have a ‘hang-dog’ look about her if she missed a forehand,” said the 80-year-old, who won two French Open titles among his 11 Grand Slams.
Barty was the first Australian woman to win in Paris since the last of Court’s five singles titles there in 1973 — against Chris Evert — and the 24-time Grand Slam winner said she wasn’t surprised at her success.
