SYDNEY - While millions of their compatriots will stay up late into the night to watch Ash Barty try and win the French Open on Saturday, her parents will be stranded just a couple of hundred miles away from Roland Garros.
Flights from Queensland to London take a good 24 hours, however, so the proud parents will not have enough time to touch down and then make the dash across the English Channel in time to watch Saturday’s final against Marketa Vondrousova. That her parents had planned their trip to support Barty during the grasscourt season is an indication of just how surprising her run on the red clay of the Roland Garros courts has been.
Barty reached the final of her first tournament of the year in Sydney and her first Grand Slam quarter-final at the Australian Open two weeks later.
