Ash Barty wave + procrastination...

PASSING THOUGHT: Procrastination running high today... I blame wallowing in the Ash Barty Wimbledon hype... Somehow the regular supermarket routine pales into insignificance... I want to ride out the phenomenal excitement wave... pic.twitter.com/stFz6A2q6n

Ash Barty wins Wimbledon at close of NAIDOC Week...

BRILLIANT! Australia is proud...25-year-old Ash Barty from Queensland defeats Karolína Plíšková in 3-set Wimbledon final...She's the first Australian woman to lift the Venus Rosewater dish since Indigenous tennis star Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980. https://t.co/6JmYoSZJ9k pic.twitter.com/5AYplMWEVe

Just love this tweak of the aboriginal flag to celebrate Ash Barty's Wimbledon win! What a grand finale for NAIDOC Week! https://t.co/aW6QOII673

Before the tournament, Barty approached her clothing sponsor, Fila, with a suggestion to re-create elements of the outfit Goolagong Cawley wore during her first Wimbledon triumph. Goolagong Cawley’s white dress had buttons all the way down the front and, most notably, a scalloped hemline.

 “We took that element, we took some beautiful stitching of flowers on another dress that Evonne loved, and we took all of that as inspiration, and designed a couple of different outfits for Ash,” said Lauren Mallon, Fila’s senior director of tennis marketing. “We also kept in mind what Ash likes to wear; it’s really important to us as a brand that is comfortable, functional, and beautiful for all of our athletes.” 

Barty, who prefers not to wear dresses on the court, was given a tank top and skort with similar elements. There were other updates: Whereas the flowers that appeared on some of Goolagong Cawley’s outfits were embroidered with colorful thread, the ones on Barty’s dress were laser cut out of the fabric.

Great respect for the family background of Ash Barty...
Both Barty's parents were state golf representatives, with Rob also playing for Australia as an amateur.
Neither felt the need to interrupt their daughter's sporting career choices, trusting Barty+her junior coach Jim Joyce. https://t.co/s3rdXvY9EK pic.twitter.com/kBRw0ek57z
