"2023 looks set to be the best year yet," Barty wrote. "We are so excited for our new adventure." She also posted a photo of her dog next to baby shoes. "Origi is already the big sister who takes care."

Barty married her longtime boyfriend Garry Kissick last summer.

The 26-year-old surprisingly announced the end of her career in February 2022, a few weeks after winning the home game of the Australian Open - and as the reigning world number one.

At this year's Australian Open, however, she will be at the start - as part of sponsorship commitments and as a mentor for 20-year-old Olivia Gadecki, who is starting via wildcard.

Barty was spotted at the United Cup earlier this week.
