Ashleigh Barty surprises with tennis retirement

Barty surprisingly announced her retirement from professional tennis in March of this year, at the age of only 25. At that time she was the clear number 1 in the tennis world, having previously won the Australian Open.

She was "completely done," Barty said during her resignation call with friend and longtime doubles partner Casey Dellacqua.

Above all, Barty struggled with all the travel, she is extremely attached to her home and family.

However, she remains connected to tennis, she is involved in the kids' area and recently published her own children's book series.
