Ash Barty ended her nation’s 44-year wait for an Australian Open singles champion with a hard-earned 6-3 7-6(2) triumph over Danielle Collins in the 2022 final, clinching her third Grand Slam title without dropping a set.
The world No. 1 became the eighth woman to win the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the Open era. In winning in front of her friends, family and compatriots, she became Australia’s first home-grown champion since Chris O’Neil lifted the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup in 1978.
