Australian Open

Congratulations Ashleigh and Australia.

Great result for Ash Barty so pleased she won. Looking forward to the Nadal match hope he wins too!

She is a great girl. No side to her, humble and talented. A rare combination.

What time/ channel is the mens final on?

Watching the 2nd set of the Barty match yesterday was extremely exciting as it swung one way, then another, and back several times.

I don’t think the men’s final is on terrestrial TV maybee70 it’s probably on sky sport if you have it. I don’t but am going to listen to the commentary on BBC radio . I think it’s Radio 5.

Just started on Eurosport.

It’s a splendid result for Ash Barty, and for Australia.
I like her personality and fortitude. One of the great Sportwomen of that country.

The Rafa Nadal match is free on Eurosport1 now

Is anyone watching? Come on Rafa!

My husband is a huge tennis fan, Ashleigh is his favourite female player so he is very happy that she won.

Yes I’m watching. Would like Medvedev to win.I may miss the end as I have to go out at 2pm?

I’d like Nadal win, exciting!

Absolute hero!

Trying to watch it at the moment it’s impossible, the player emits the most awful sounds as if he’s ready to depart this world. It’s ridiculous. I’m giving up, he’s the most irritating person.

Hope Djokovic is watching.

Wow. I was listening to the end on 5 live as Eurosport is not a free channel.
After 1am in Melbourne...fantastic stuff.
Congrats Rafa!

They were trying to ask him questions and he just must be exhausted. He certainly looks it.

Fantastic result, exciting match - love Rafa, he always seems such a lovely person.

Fantastic result for Rafa what an achievement. Was listening on the radio and just before the end had a power cut! Couldn’t believe it what awful timing.

What a match! - I only watched highlights afterwards on BBC, but was still caught up in the excitement of it.
Medvedev will surely be a winner of this trophy in the future but for this year it has been earned by Rafa ?
