After a thrilling run, St. Pete’s Collins falls in Australian Open final

An exhilarating march from a 27th seed to facing the world’s best in the Australian Open final came to a disappointing finish for St. Petersburg's Danielle Collins, as Ashleigh Barty outlasted the underdog to take the title.

Barty, playing in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, defeated Collins 6-3, 7-6 (7-2). In taking the Grand Slam early Saturday morning - the match began at 3:30 a.m. for Collins' St. Pete supporters - Barty became the first home Australian Open winner in 44 years. Barty, the world’s No. 1 ranked women’s tennis player, now has three grand slam titles under her belt after winning the French Open in 2019 and Wimbledon in 2021.
