Will Ashleigh Barty return to tennis? Former WTA No. 1 answers herself
When asked about returning back to tennis, she did not answer as early as 2014. She was also an Olympic mixed doubles bronze medallist in Beijing 2022.
there won’t be another time coming back to tennis, i promise you.
Ashleigh told to The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
Ashleigh was never dissatisfied with her decision of retiring from one of her favourite sports, tennis. She is not only fond of tennis but the 26-year-old is pretty similarly good at golf. Barty has been seen playing golf tournaments after her retirement. Not just golf, Ashleigh is also enthusiastic about cricket as being an Australian one can be.
Former World No. one enjoying her life other than tennis
“For me at the moment, I’m loving being off the court and transitioning into this new life – that’s not a new life, it’s just a different one,” Ashleigh said. Barty recently married her long-term boyfriend to start a new chapter of her life other than her professional life.
The young Australian is wholly satisfied with her achievements in tennis and what she could have been asked for in such a limited career period.
“It’s just been everything that I’ve probably ever expected. It was a transition that I probably found quite easy and that was a reiteration and reassurance for me that it was the right time.” Ashleigh Barty assures her not to come back to tennis and continue with her happy retirement.
