Ash Barty has delivered a stern message to her critics after winning another trophy that keeps her on top of the world rankings.
“I never have to prove anything to anyone. I know all the work that I do with my team behind the scene,” Barty said.
“There were girls who had the chance to improve theirs, so I felt like I thoroughly deserve my spot at the top of the rankings.” “It doesn’t really get to me. I mean, it’s just what people say and I can’t change their opinion, so it doesn’t stress me out at all.” The 24-year-old from Queensland controlled the match from the outset, moving Andreescu around the court relentlessly with accurate first serves and heavy groundstrokes.
