Ash Barty was all class following her shock defeat to Shelby Rogers at the 2021 US Open. 🙏 USOpen Tennis 9WWOS
The Queenslander was honest in her post-match press conference reflecting on her "disappointing" loss.
"It's pretty slow and dead out there on Ashe at night. It was my first experience kind of playing at night there. It does make a pretty dramatic difference," Barty said. "In the end I think that game put some oxygen into her lungs. At the 5-4 game, we played some long points. I mean, I didn't play too many bad points. Shelby came up with some really good stuff when it mattered most. A forehand lob, 30-All, you tip your hat and say, 'Too good'.
"There are certain people on the tour that I think no matter the result you know you're always going to get a genuine handshake, a smile, you're going to get that genuine respect. For me Shelby has always been one of those people," Barty said.
