BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — World No. 1-ranked Ash Barty has announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 25. Barty said in an emotional video posted ...
“It’s the first time I’ve actually said it out loud and, yeah, it’s hard to say,” Barty told her former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua in the video interview. I am spent.” I just know at the moment in my heart for me as a person this is right.”
Ash Barty, the world's top-ranked women's tennis player, has announced she is retiring from the sport at 25 years old, per her Instagram.
"When you work so hard your whole life for one goal - to be able to win Wimbledon, which was my dream, the one true dream that I wanted in tennis, that really changed my perspective.'' "I know I've done this before,'' Barty said with a laugh in the retirement video, "but in a very different feeling. "Ash, what can I say, you know I have tears right?'' tweeted Simona Halep. "My friend, I will miss you on tour. "I'll never, ever, ever stop loving tennis,'' she said. "It's pretty gutsy, it's pretty noble,'' Molik said. "It will always be a massive part of my life but now I think it's important I get to enjoy the next phase of my life as Ash Barty the person, not Ash Barty the athlete. She won 15 tour-level titles in singles and another 12 in doubles since first turning pro in 2010. She described what she termed a "gut feeling'' after Wimbledon about maybe being ready to move on, but she also described herself then as not "quite fulfilled.'' Her victory at the Australian Open satisfied another gap, and Barty said she was completely aware that "my happiness wasn't dependent on the results.'' A semifinal loss to Petra Kvitova in Doha in February was the last match she played in 2020; Barty stayed home in Australia for the balance of the season when the global pandemic emerged. After six months on the road in 2021 and after winning five titles, including at Wimbledon, Barty ended her season abruptly after a loss to Shelby Rogers at the U.S. Open. I'm so grateful to everything that tennis has given me. I am spent.''

Tennis is obviously the focus and cricket was a bit of fun, but golf for me is a hobby. With her illustrious tennis career now in the rearview, maybe Barty reconsiders that statement?
