Huge Joy for Ash, she is all class, just a ripper Australian. I can even live with her as a Tigers supporter.

Edit: Now that I can breathe, (was very invested), I imagine watching Melbourne in the finals will be a 100 times as stressful, when she started going backwards in the 2nd and her 1st serve wobbled, my MFCSS was definitely bubbling, as I definitively believe her getting up would be/is a good omen for the club.

It's 'Cambage'

But this is a thread about the wonderful achievement of Ash Barty isn't it?

I love her ... doesn't everyone?

Well that has left me gobsmacked

Ash Barty retires ... reminds me of when Shane Gould retired (although, years later, I totally understand why Shane retired)

Our own Robbie Flower retiring seemed premature as well although he did have a full career.  Bjorn Borg retiring as a 26yo was another

But I'm going to miss Ash playing.  So fair and a quiet achiever.  A great player.  Reckon she could have won at least another 6 slams too
