Ash Barty has returned to the court where her stellar tennis career took its final bow, appearing on Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open kids day. 7NEWS
The 21-year-old on Saturday said she wishes she could go toe-to-toe with the Australian once more.
“But on the other hand she gave me a lot in terms of my motivation and my kind of willingness to practice even more and ... to have more variety on court.“Even in her book, she says she has, like, five types of slice. I don’t know how that’s possible. I still haven’t figured out only one type. In addition to assisting fellow Queenslander Gadecki in Melbourne this week, Barty has partnered with Tennis Australia to mentor players and coaches on the development pathway.
“Supporting the next generation of tennis talent is something I am very passionate about,” Barty said.
