Barty’s father Rob told Neil Breen that moment was a whirlwind.
“We knew that the game between her and Karolína would go three sets, because nearly all their matches do.
“At the end of the match, I could not remember the last point, and now I’ve seen it a hundred times.
“All we do is watch her play because we love watching her play tennis.”
