Tennis number one and all round legend Ash Barty has paid homage to a Disney classic following her latest Wimbledon win.
The 23-year-old is crushing Wimbledon, winning her match against Harriet Dart in under an hour, dropping just two games for a 6-1, 6-1 victory.
At the post-match conference, a reporter asked Barty about her shot selection and she seamlessly responded with a quote from The Little Mermaid.
"For me sometimes I look at a shot, I play a shot, and then I think the seaweed's always greener in someone else's lake, and I try and think of how else I can win the point," she said.
"Really I just need to go about it and be really simple, make up my mind, pick my spot, hit it, and try and bring a simple mindset and have a clarity about how I want to play."
This isn't the first time she's referenced Disney in her Wimbledon press conferences, with ABC Offsiders panelist Kelli Underwood noticing a trend.
Barty referenced The Lion King in her first press-conference Barty: "We kind of came into it thinking like Hakuna Matata."
And Toy story after her second match: "I chat to my niece and over and over she just tells me, 'you can go to infinity and beyond'."
Bravo, Barty. Bravo.
Barty will face off against 55th-ranked American Alison Riske and is on-track to play against Serena Williams.
She's not the only young Aussie to make headlines for post-game press conferences this week, with tennis bad boy Nick Kyrios recognising a reporter from the pub the night before his match.
"You played a great match..." the reporter said.
"You were at the pub last night! This is awkward."
He earlier "comprehensively owned" one reporter after he asked if Kyrgios could have played better if he didn't go to the pub.
"No. You look way too excited to ask that question, you must have a boring life," Kyrgios said.
As for the other young Aussie at Wimbledon, no-one was impressed with Bernard Tomic’s apparent lack of effort in is first round match, and was fined his fined his full Wimbledon prize money for not meeting “required professional standards”.
