ANKARA (AA) - Ashleigh Barty won the 2022 Australian Open women's singles title on Saturday.

Barty won her maiden Australia open final by beating Danielle Collins of the US, who was playing in her first grand slam final, at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

Particularly owing the victory to her strong resistance in the second set, which she won 7-6 (7-2) with a tiebreaker, the world no.1 came back from 5-1 behind Collins. The first set had ended 6-3.

With this victory, Barty became the first Australian player to win the Australian Open women's singles title since 1978, after Chris O’Neil.

This title also marks the third grand slam championship for Barty as she won 2019 French Open and 2021 Wimbledon women's singles.
