Ashleigh Barty beat Danielle Collins to win the Australian Open title, ending the home nation's 44-year wait for a Grand Slam women's singles champion.

Top seed Barty fought back from 5-1 down in the second set to win 6-3 7-6 (7-2).

The 25-year-old Queenslander has won the title without dropping a set in Melbourne this fortnight.

After winning the 2019 French Open and last year's Wimbledon title, Barty has now claimed three of the four majors.
