Congratulations to Rafael Nadal and Ash Barty on their wins.
Rafael Nadal now has the most majors at 21.
Ash is native Australian and I loved to see her win in her home Country.

Congratulations to Rafael Nadal and Ash Barty on their wins. Rafael Nadal now has the most majors at 21. Ash is native Australian and I loved to see her win in her home Country. Not handslapping, but gently educating. Ash Barty is a proud Aboriginal woman from the Ngaragu mob. We call our First Nations people Aboriginal or Indigenous Australians. We never refer to an Aboriginal Australian as native. |

I love Ash Barty, everything about her story. I’m sad it was a win over Danielle Collins. I knew about her surgery for endometriosis, and that she managed to come back quite quickly from it. What I didn’t know, she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis around the same time. I’m hoping she can be more like Venus Williams, whose Sjogrens can effect joints in a similar fashion as RA, and less like Caroline Wozniaki . I’m a lucky jackpot winner who has both those conditions, played sports all my life, and can not picture the rigors of the modern game being compatible with auto-immune diseases for long. So that’s literally why I wasn’t as excited to see Ash win, but thrilled for her and Australia
I was up all night with the mens final. I thought I’d be able to head to bed around 4:00am my time, after the first 2 sets. Thank goodness I waited till about halfway thru the 3rd set, by then it was too late. I have loved Rafa’s game since he announced himself in capri pants all those years ago.
Now to keep my eyes open long enough to watch the last American football playoff game.
