Ashley Barty: Announcing the sudden retirement of the world's number one tennis player



He added: "I am very happy and ready for this decision. As a human being, my heart is saying this decision is right. I know people may not understand this but I'm glad I did. Because I know Ash Barty has a lot of dreams and she wants to fulfill them and she doesn't have to travel around the world, she doesn't have to move away from her family, from her home because I always want to be there. I am. '

Ash Barty has won the Grand Slam three times in singles and the Australian Open in January this year.

 

He is the first player in the country to win an Australian Open singles event in 44 years.

She says the success of becoming the 2021 Wimbledon champion "changed my outlook" because even after achieving her enduring personal goal in the sport, "she was not completely satisfied."

Barty has been the number one player since winning the Grand Slam at the French Open for the first time in 2019. This honor has been in existence for 114 consecutive weeks.

Only Steffi Graf, Serena Williams and Martina Nortellova have held the title for 186 weeks and 156 weeks, respectively.

 

Serena Williams is the only other person to have won major competitions in clay, hard courts and grass courts. By the time he retired, he had earned 23 23.8 million from tennis competitions.

 

 

Reporting his retirement via virtual entertainment, Barty added: "I'm truly appreciative she was delivered and thank the people who buckled down for her delivery, and we're happy she's alive.

Barty also won a Grand Slam match with American Coco Wendy Wahee in the doubles event at the 2018 US Open.

I have told my team about this many times

 

Physically, I no longer have that courage. I can't work anymore. I have given my all to this beautiful game of tennis and have shown my best performance which I am happy about. Now I am mentally tired.

"For me, this is my achievement. I thank every one of the people who went with me on this excursion. I will be forever grateful for the memories we have made together," he said.

 

"I don't think Barty will play again."

 

"Like everyone else, I was shocked at this big and important decision," said Russell Fuller, BBC Sports' tennis correspondent, analyzing Ashley Barty's announcement of her retirement from tennis.

There was always a feeling that he was a player who would announce his retirement at a young age. However, no one thought that she would retire at the age of 25.

For them, Wimbledon was the most important thing and the Australian Open was a golden opportunity.

We should remember that she had taken a break from playing tennis to play cricket before, but she was suffering from home memory and depression.

But you can never rule out the possibility, but she says she wants to enjoy the next phase of her life as Ash Barty.
