This victory for Barty comes after she won the bronze in Tokyo Olympics. The 25-year-old performer really well in Cincinnati Masters and did not drop a single set. She will now head into the US Open later this month as the hot favourite to scoop up her 3rd major title.
Barty defeated former British No. 1 Heather Watson in straight sets in the Round of 32. She then went onto beat the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in the Round of 16. She continued her red-hot form against Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejcikova by defeating her 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.
Unbeatable, unbelievable form.
