Barty’s embrace : Comments

By Andris Heks, published 12/7/2021

Yes, giving up is no longer an option for Barty. Having rolled over brilliant Gerber in the semi-final, she was not going to be a wilting flower.

Dan, Can't fathom why you felt you needed to shite on a very fine Australian's deserved parade? You've got to be a real piece of work?

You might have white skin? But I'll warrant, a coal-black soul?

Others have lived through their own hell without taking their personal shite out on the friendlies!

This never ever was a time for you to empty your poisoned mind! When the only response warranted was the deserved praise of a fair dinkum Aussie who does us all so very proud!

Couldn't be more proud Barty, if I tried!

Not a criticism of Ashleigh Barty, but why do so many winning sports men and women kiss their trophies? A very strange behaviour, I suggest.

Ashleigh Barty said:

"It's never over until we're shaking hands
at the net. Then you've either won or you've
lost and either way - you look them in the
eye and say - ' Well played mate.'

Enjoy the moment Ash. Australia is so proud of you!

'What's the difference beteen blacks and whites?' you ask.
It is that Barty's Australian ancestors on the black side were decimated and humiliated beyond belief by whites.
As to Barty, she cares deeply about Aborigines, being their tennis embassador, wearing the Evone Goologong tennis outfit at Wimbledon in honour of Yvonne, saying after her victory that she hopes she made her proud, etc
