My Dream for You

Ash Barty

Australian Ash Barty is a former professional tennis player on the Women’s Tennis Association tour, 2011–22. Remarkably talented, Ash had a game style and shot variety that set her apart. Off court, her unassuming manner and commitment to being a good person endeared her further to the tennis community.

Retiring in March 2022 as world number 1 and reigning ladies singles champion at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, Ash departed as one of the most accomplished players ever. Her achievements include 3 Grand Slam singles titles, 1 Grand Slam doubles title, 12 WTA singles titles, 11 WTA doubles titles and a mixed doubles Olympic bronze. Ash was WTA world number 1 for 114 consecutive weeks, the 4th-longest streak ever, and 121 weeks in all, the 7th most in WTA history.

A proud First Nations woman, Ash is committed to creating sport and education opportunities for Australian youth. Her next chapter will involve community work, quality family time and enjoying sports as a fan.
