CHAMPIONSHIP POINT: Barty's finishing touch

On Saturday evening, world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty completed a sensational run to the Australian Open crown, becoming the first home favorite to win the singles title in 44 years. And she achieved it without dropping a set, conceding just 30 games over the fortnight.

Following Barty's 6-3, 7-6 (2) victory over No. 27 seed Danielle Collins, the love for Barty poured in across social media. A look at a handful of messages that were sent to the 25-year-old, who is now a US Open trophy away from completing a career Grand Slam in singles.

There is just no better tennis player at the moment than @ashbarty

Most complete and focused! The way she is able to put pieces together and add a bit more to her game is absolutely admirable! What an example!

Congrats champ to you and all your team ❤️
