World number one women's singles tennis player Ashleigh Barty has won the 2022 Australian Open title. Barty, who has been in resounding form this year, beat 28-year-old Danielle Collins in straight sets (6-3, 7-6). With this win, Barty has sealed her third Grand Slam title. Earlier, she had won the French Open in 2019 and Wimbledon in 2021. Here are further details.

Context
Why does it matter?
  • Barty is in resounding form and is unbeaten in 2022.
  • She won the Adelaide International prior to the Australian Open.
  • She has a 11-0 win-loss record this year and has gone unbroken for her 10th consecutive match.
  • To beat an in-form Collins will please Barty, who served really well and held her nerves.
  • To win another Grand Slam is a massive statement of intent.
