REUTERS: Ashleigh Barty defeated Karolina Pliskova 7-6 6-3 on Saturday to win her maiden Miami Open title and become the first Australian woman since 2013 to reach the top 10 in the world rankings.
Barty pumped her fists when Pliskova sent a forehand long on match point to hand the 22-year-old the biggest win of her career, which includes a $1.3 million pay check."It was important for me to try to make it physical," Barty, the first Australian to win the Miami Open singles title, said in an on-court interview.
"Congrats to Ashleigh. She played incredible all week, all the matches were close and especially today I thought she came up with some good tennis."
