HOW TO WATCH ASH BARTY AT THE 2022 AUSTRALIAN OPEN FINAL
World No.1 Barty will have millions of eyeballs on her when she enters Centre Court at the famous All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.
Barty has lost just one set en route to final.
Pliskova has been just as impressive, also losing the one set which came in her semi-final win over Aryna Sabalenka.
Barty has a 5-2 head-to-head winning record over Pliskova with their last meeting coming at Stuttgart earlier this year where Barty came from a set down to win on clay.
The Barty vs Pliskova final is on late for east coast viewers in Australia and primetime for those of you on the west coast.
What time is Ash Barty playing tonight?
The final is scheduled to start at 2:00pm local time at Wimbledon. That means it will be on at 11:00pm AEST, 10:30pm ACST, and 9:00pm AWST if you’re in Western Australia.
The best part is that we can guarantee the match will take place (barring any pre-match injuries) with the roof on Centre Court meaning any pesky English rain won’t stop the action.
