Barty reaches another US Open doubles final | smhsport
Ashleigh Barty will mark her return to the top of the world singles rankings with a second straight appearance in the US Open women’s doubles final.
It will be Barty’s third doubles final at Flushing Meadows, after she lost the 2013 showpiece with fellow Australian Casey Dellacqua.Barty and Azarenka were merciless in dispatching Sasnovich and Viktoria Kuzmova in 56 minutes on Louis Armstrong Stadium. Already the first - and to date - only player to seal her singles entry, 23-year-old Barty and Azarenka will also climb into the top eight in the 2019 Race to Shenzhen in doubles if they win the US Open.
‘‘I feel like I’m in a great place off the court and enjoying myself on the court,’’ Barty said before deflecting the praise to Azarenka, the dominant performer in the semi-final rout.‘‘I was happy to sit back and enjoy the show. She’s a champion and I’m just glad she’s on my side of the court.’’
