Three-time Grand Slam winner Ash Barty retires from tennis at age 25

India TV News  

Highlights She won Australian Open for her third Grand Slam singles title. Saying it was time to “chase other dreams,” Barty said she no longer feels compelled to do what she knows is required to be the best she can be at tennis. “It's the first time I've actually said it out loud and, yeah, it's hard to say,” Barty said during an informal interview with her former doubles partner, Casey Dellacqua. I am spent.” This is not the first time Barty walked away from tennis: She was the Wimbledon junior champion at age 15 in 2011, presaging a promising professional career, but left the tour entirely for nearly two years in 2014 because of burnout, overwhelmed by the pressure and travel required. Barty went on to win major championships on three different surfaces — on clay at the 2019 French Open, on grass at Wimbledon last year and on the hard courts of Melbourne Park in January, becoming the first Australian player in 44 years to triumph at the nation's Grand Slam tournament.
