'This is incredible': Barty on cusp of glory after reaching Wimbledon final [View all]
Ash Barty will be the first Australian woman to contest a Wimbledon final in 41 years after she claimed a straight sets win in the semi-final against Angelique Kerber.
Barty played what she described as the match of her life in the 6-3, 7-6 (3) win.
“This is incredible. This is close to as good a tennis match as I’ll ever play,” Barty said.
“Angie brought the best out of me. It was a hell of a match, right from the first ball and I knew it was going to have to be that good just to compete with her.

Can't believe it's 41 years since I watched Evonne Cawley (Goolagong) win the final.
