Australian Open: Problem-solving Ashleigh Barty on road to another Slam title

The single-minded World No.1 dismantled the 21st-seeded American 6-2, 6-0 in 63 minutes on Rod Laver Arena to power into the last four at Melbourne Park for only the second time

Ashleigh Barty said on Tuesday she was having fun “problem-solving” on court after accelerating her march towards a maiden Australian Open title Tuesday with a straight-sets masterclass against Jessica Pegula. 

The single-minded World No.1 dismantled the 21st-seeded American 6-2, 6-0 in 63 minutes on Rod Laver Arena to power into the last four at Melbourne Park for only the second time. 

“I’m having fun trying to problem solve out on the court, and each and every opponent has been different, each and every opponent has presented me with a different challenge and forced me to use another tool in my toolbox,” she said. “Now we’re in with a chance to go out there and play a semi-final at home, couldn’t be more pumped.”
