The final between world No 1s — the current and a former one - Ashleigh Barty vs Karolina Pliskova, at Wimbledon was nail biting one, with both having a lot at stake. Since 2012, it was the first Wimbledon ladies’ singles final to go to a third set.
Barty, the ruling women’s world numero uno was aiming for her first Wimbledon singles title while Pliskova, her senior for four years had also set her target of winning very first grand slam trophy.
Meanwhile, Barty was carrying the expectation of sports lovers of her nation. After all, Australia was having a finalist at the Wimbledon women’s singles final after four long decades. Barty was following in the footsteps of Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who won Wimbledon finals in 1971 and 1980.
She was determined to live up to that expectation, as she considers Goolagong both as her idol and mentor.
“Being able to play in the final is gonna be just the best experience ever,” she said after winning the semi-final 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).
The fact that both finalists had a strong serve, was proven in the first two set. While Barty won the first set, while the second was won by Pliskova in the second set.
Actors Priyanka Chopra and Tom Cruise were spotted enjoying the thriller of a final.
