World No.1 Ashleigh Barty will take some time to reflect on a huge 2019 after suffering Fed Cup final heartbreak in Australia's decider against France.

Ajla Tomljanovic's overnight transformation was a major positive for Australia in their Fed Cup final defeat to France in Perth.

Defeated world No.1 Ashleigh Barty hopes she did Australia proud in her epic Fed Cup final duel with French opponent Kristina Mladenovic.

Australian No.1 Alex de Minaur had nine break-point chances but failed to convert any in his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the final of the Next Gen ATP Finals.
