PARIS (Reuters) - Ash Barty was not the only Australian sportswoman competing in elite competition in France this weekend and the newly-crowned Grand Slam tennis champion has sent a message of support to the Matildas ahead of their women's World Cup opener.
The 23-year-old Barty ended a 46-year wait for an Australian champion in the women's singles at the French Open on Saturday but took time out in Paris to wish her compatriots success against Italy in Valenciennes on Sunday.
