Australian world No 2 falls 6-2, 6-4 to Qiang WangBarty laments ‘tough day at office’ but remains upbeatNo time to dwell, Ashleigh Barty has set her sights on retaining the
US Open doubles crown after crashing out of the singles with a fourth-round shocker at Flushing Meadows. A philosophical Barty preferred to reflect on a watershed grand slam season, highlighted by her magical
French Open triumph in June, than mope about after a 6-2, 6-4 loss to Qiang Wang on Sunday.
“It’s been incredible. Yeah, I mean, it’s a tough day at the office today, but it’s been a year where we’ve hit our goals. Obviously I would have loved to have kept going here in singles, but we’ve got an opportunity to do that in doubles,” Barty said.
