Barty’s Interview

After the match, Ashleigh commented: “Third time lucky, I suppose, isn’t it? The best part about this week is I fought and scrapped my way through and got better and better in each situation, in each match.” I take the experiences and learnings from last year, but you have to start fresh. Everyone is starting with a clean slate this year. It’s about trying to bring out the best in yourself and problem-solve in those situations when you need to. I felt like I did that very well this week.”
