Former tennis star Ash Barty performed at the highest level on the court and she is now set to start a new chapter of her life off it.
The 26-year-old announced the news of her pregnancy on Instagram by snapping a picture of her pet dog alongside a pair of baby shoes. The caption read: “Set to be the best year yet. We are so excited for our new adventure. Origi already the protective big sister.”
Her tennis colleagues took to the comments as mother and 2018 Australian Open winner Caroline Wozniacki said: “Yesss congratulations.” 2008 Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson wrote: “Congratulations!!!! Baby Barty”, while Wimbledon, an event she won in 2021, posted: “Congratulations, champ.”
