Barty wins her opening match

Early rounds are always a danger. Her draw is incredibly tough!!

Why is her draw tough.

She is only scheduled to play opponents ranked below her

How about how tough the draw is for those drawn to play against her.

Barty out after losing third set.

What an epic final between Djokovic and Federer. Can't believe a tiebreaker in the 5th decides the title. Surely the final set needs to be played out as long as possible.

Better than the cricket, if the ICC were running Wimbledon the most aces would probably have decided it.

And even then they would *!*!*!*! it up somehow. I don't understand what the rush is. Is sport catering to the theatre going element to the detriment of the sport?

Fantastic to see Ash Barty make in to the Final of Wimbledon. First female for over 40 years.

Watched her semi and she was very determined. The second set she was down 2-5 but won the next three games thereafter including the tie breaker.

Hopefully she can win tomorrow.

She's a fighter, there is a lot to admire how she goes about it.

Almost 20 years since our last Wimbledon champ in Lleyton (also the last Men's champ not named Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray).

Hopefully Ash can continue her good form and take that through to the Olympics as well.

Impossible to dislike, and disliking tennis players normally comes fairly easily.

Too late I have already opened the champagne and am tweeting offensive things to Bernard Tomic.

Don't tax my gig so hardcore, cruster.

Congrats Ash Barty!! Terrific final. I normally find women's tennis a little boring without trying to sound sexist but that was a great game of tennis to watch. And there was no annoying screaming as they hit the ball as well which was a bonus!
