In case, you live off the grid and only just got internet this exact minute, Ash Barty announced today that she’s retiring from tennis. Yep, the Ash Barty. It feels like just a few weeks ago that we were having a Barty Party for her Australian Open win. Because it literally was just weeks ago.
So yeah, the news has come as a shock to plenty of Barty fans. Here is a woman who is at the top of her game, just 25 years old, opting out of her career. Thankfully all the Barty fans are being massively supportive (she really is Australia’s People’s Princess) but you’d be lying if you said the news wasn’t a bit confronting.
