    Good onya Ash, best wishes in the final, you've done us and yourself proud.

    Two other Australians to do their people proud are Scott Boland, of Ashes cricket fame, and Ashleigh Gardner, the first indigenous player to be awarded the top gong in Aus. women's cricket, the Belinda Clark award. Ash nearly didn't return to tennis, but then she started coaching old ladies and children after school, and found her mojo again. The AO win has started a resurgence of tennis in Qld, with children by the score enrolling in tennis centres around the State. Maybe we'll find another Laver, or Barty, who knows.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I hope she enjoyed the beer, she earned it and hurt no one, drinking it on TV.

    Yeah, shame some of the other old fossils don't take the hint and retire.
    Ash is getting married later this year, obviously she will be focusing on married life

    Ash said, during her retirement announcement, that she was proud to be Australian; the reality is Australia should be proud of her.
    Despite the vast amount of money and numerous accolades and awards she rightfully earned, she remained humble, considerate and respectful. There has never been a hint of controversy or misbehavior in relation to her.
    She owes tennis nothing and has the right to retire and enjoy family life.
    All the best Ash, thanks for being such an honourable role model and ambassador .

    I didn't see that.......... if she was male and drank it out of her tennis shoe she'd maybe set a trend in the sport.
