A look at how Ashleigh Barty lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish.

World number one Ashleigh Barty won her first Wimbledon title with a three-set victory over Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court.

The 25-year-old ended a 41-year-old wait for an Australian women's singles champion by emulating her mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley.

Here, the PA news agency charts Barty's path to the trophy.

First round – beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-7 (1) 6-1

Barty knew she would have to play her best match of the tournament so far and she did so, flying out of the blocks to open up a 3-0 lead and showing all the skills that make her the best player in the world right now. She was 4-1 down in the second set but hit back impressively.

Final – beat Karolina Pliskova 6-3 6-7 (4) 6-3

Barty achieved her dream of winning Wimbledon in a tense final that brought the crowd along on a rollercoaster. The Australian won the first 14 points, failed to serve out the match in the second set, and then held her nerve in the decider just when she needed it most.
