Two of Australia’s most successful athletes in 2021, superstars of tennis Ashleigh Barty and Dylan Alcott, have shared the Newcombe Medal.
Among her achievements, the Queenslander locked down the year-end world No.1 for a third straight year, won the WTA player of the year award and, most recently, was named alongside Novak Djokovic as the two ITF world champions. It was fitting that Barty and Alcott could share the honour as they have forged a strong friendship on tour.
The popular pair told how they were able to help each other relax ahead of their Wimbledon finals in July.
