Ashleigh Barty shuns longevity like Roger Federer and Serena ... (Eurosport.com)

Ashleigh Barty has not followed Roger Federer and Serena Williams in playing until she is 40, but she still retires from tennis with a strong legacy.

Federer said the decision was a “shock for the whole tennis world”. Henin said she left “without any regrets”. Sampras is one of the few not to return to the tour, although even he sounded tempted. She was always gracious in defeat, even when losing in the late rounds of the Australian Open for three years in a row before lifting the title this year. A look at the tributes that poured in for her shows how beloved she was by her fellow professionals. “I'm not going to lie and say that I'm going to plan to play four, five more years on tour,” Kyrgios, 26, said last summer. I have achieved a lot in that short amount of time, if you want to call it short. In 2020 she didn't leave the country during the pandemic, and the following season it was an emotional tear as she embarked on six months away from home. Because I know that Ash Barty the person has so many dreams she wants to chase after that don't necessarily involve travelling the world, being away from my family, from my home, which is where I've always wanted to be." I know the adrenaline I feel at the moment will never be the same… It’s incredibly rare for an athlete to hang up their racquet, boots, or gloves when they are at the pinnacle of their sport, as Barty is. Barty’s decision to retire at the age of 25is a brave one. But it is always ‘work’, andAshleigh Barty has decided that she wants to focus more on her life.

Despite the Trend in Sports, Don't Expect Ashleigh Barty to Un-Retire (The New York Times)

When the world's top women's tennis player won the Australian Open in January, it became her crowning achievement. Her stunning retirement is a loss to ...

She was 3-0 in Grand Slam singles finals, although it bears remembering that she never faced a player ranked in the top 10 in any of the Grand Slam tournaments she won. But however well-considered her departure, it is still sad for tennis that she did not want to carry the torch forward. I think she has always been very determined and very clear on where she stood and where tennis stood in her life.” Barty, though she stood only 5-foot-5, had plenty of power and one of the most dominant serves — and forehands — in the game. Naomi Osaka, her heir apparent in terms of global profile and commercial portfolio, has struggled with her mental health and is now ranked 77th. Lawler said she expects Barty to request to be removed from the rankings, likely before the end of the Miami Open, which concludes April 3. But then came her return to competition in January, when she ended Australia’s 44-year drought by winning the Australian Open singles title — without dropping a single set. Tennis stars of the past who retired early — see Justine Henin and Bjorn Borg — did eventually return to competition, however briefly. She’s happy and now comfortable and never has to leave her town and family again. Perhaps, in retrospect, it was a scream of relief. Barty spent all of 2020 in Australia, opting to remain home in Brisbane rather than travel abroad to compete when tournaments resumed after a forced hiatus. Her stunning retirement is a loss to tennis.

It was such an incredible moment to share with so many people in the crowd,” she said. “It’s not a shock to me. In the Instagram video, she’d alluded to the dreams and challenges that lay ahead for Ashleigh Barty the person, rather than Ashleigh Barty the player. It hastened her retirement, but not before “one last crack” at winning the Australian Open and ending a 44-year drought for Aussie players at their home major. Those who pressed for a few more details in the official news conference were met with a repeated response: “You’ll have to wait and see.
