Ashleigh Barty on retiring after Australian Open 2022
“A question of discipline, hard work and talent”
“I really like seeing others succeed, we’ve seen Iga dominate most of the time over the last two and a half years, it’s incredible the composure she’s acquired, she’s had a fabulous run, won a lot of matches and she’s dominating the circuit.” said the Australian regarding Iga Swiatek. “It’s about discipline, hard work and talent. You have to put it all together, so it’s impressive to see it from afar. I don’t know the ins and outs, I haven’t followed it closely, I just know she’s always there in the big moments, which is impressive.”
Barty is now 28 years old and has become a commentator for the time being Wimbledonfor the BBC. “It’s something new, something I’ve never done before, so I’m just making up for lost time with the commentary. It’s really nice to work with the BBC, I’ve worked with some of the best, I’ve learned a lot and I’ve really enjoyed watching tennis again. As a commentator on Court 1, I’ve had an amazing booth, with good views and the opportunity to absorb everything that’s happening on court. I hope people at home have enjoyed it as well, although I don’t know if I’ve been wrong or if I’ve caused indifference, but I’m enjoying it.”
