Good evening, good morning, and welcome to our live coverage of the Australian Open women’s singles final. We are here, we’ve made it. Well done to all, but particularly well done to Naomi Osaka and Jennifer Brady, the two finalists seeking one trophy.
Third seed Osaka is the clear favourite (though it’s not really that simple; more on that in a bit). Her grand slam final record is perfect and she can make it four from four at Melbourne Park, where she of course won the the 2019 Australian Open. The Japanese 23-year-old has also never lost after passing the fourth round of any major tournament.
