Ashleigh Barty is flying high

After her triumphant Australian Open win, Ash Barty broke several records and created a few more. She became the only active player after Serena Williams to win a Grand Slam title on three different surfaces. She also ended the drought by becoming an Australian player to win the Australian Open after 44 years.

Her achievement is not surprising to anyone, as she has been playing consistently on the tour for the past few years. In this tournament also, she played like a true world no.1 and won the whole thing without dropping a set. Her next target should be the French Open, which will take place in May. If Barty continues this form, she will clinch that Grand Slam as well. 

Is Barty the favorite to win the French Open? Let us know in the comments.
