Ashleigh Barty
Ashleigh Barty was an Australian professional tennis player on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour from 2011 to 2022, taking a hiatus from late 2014 to early 2016. Renowned for her exceptional natural talent and versatile playing style, Barty distinguished herself with a wide array of shots. Her affable off-court demeanor further endeared her to the tennis community and fans globally. With her characteristic humility, confidence in forging her own path, and unwavering commitment to being a good person above all, she became a significant role model.
Barty announced her retirement from professional tennis in March 2022 as the WTA World No. 1 and the reigning ladies’ singles champion at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. She concluded her career as one of the sport’s most accomplished players, boasting three Grand Slam singles titles, one Grand Slam doubles title, 12 WTA singles titles, 11 WTA doubles titles, and an Olympic bronze medal in mixed doubles. Barty held the WTA World No. 1 ranking for 114 consecutive weeks, the fourth-longest streak in tour history. In total, she spent 121 weeks at World No. 1, ranking seventh in WTA tour history.
A proud First Nations woman, Barty is dedicated to fostering sports and educational opportunities for youth in communities across Australia and launched the Ash Barty Foundation in 2024. An avid reader and advocate for children’s literacy, she has authored the bestselling memoir My Dream Time, the children’s series Little Ash and Tennis Camp Diaries, and two picture books, My Dream for You and My Dream Holiday. Family remains central to Barty’s life, and she cherishes her role as a mother to her son Hayden and daughter Jordan.
