Wow. #1 Ash Barty starts her #AusOpen campaign with a 6-0, 6-1 win over former top 25 Lesia Tsurenko. 54 minutes. Faces Lucia Bronzzeti next.
Ashleigh Barty continued her tremendous run of form in Melbourne with an impressive win over Lesia Tsurenko 6-0 6-1.
There was very little mercy involved from the side of Barty who came out with a purpose on Monday. The purpose was to win the match for Barty but even she probably did not expect it to be so quick and so efficient. Doing her best Iga Swiatek impression, the Australian was in the zone from start to finish never allowing her opponent anything.
Combining some good serving, aggressive play and switching up of the rhythm, Barty found a great combination to completely frustrate Tsurenko. The Ukrainian was unable to do anything but lose points in bulk and that finished off the first set rather quickly in 25 minutes. The score was a bagel 6-0 for Barty who was looking dominant.
Not much changed in the 2nd set as Barty continued dominating in everything. The Australian player got her first match point at 5-0 after 25 minutes of play so she could have rounded out the score nicely. Showing some pride, Tsurenko saved it and one more after that to make it 5-1. While not much more respectable of a scoreline, Tsurenko avoided a double bagel at least.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
