HOME favourite Ash Barty has beaten Danielle Collins in straight sets to become the first home Australian Open singles winner in 44 years. Barty is now just a US Open away from winning all four Grand Slam tournaments. And there was more Aussie glory as Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis won the Men's Doubles. While in the men's final, Rafa Nadal is through after seeing off a brave effort from Matteo Berrettini. Novak Djokovic is out of the picture after being deported from Australia, and things could yet get worse for the Serb.
