Although world number one Ashleigh Barty interrupted the season due to coronavirus and the associated problems with training and travel, she continues to collect trophies on the sports field. The 24-year-old Australian traded a tennis racket for a golf club and won a tournament in her native Queensland at Brookwater Golf Club in Brisbane on Sunday.
Barty has tried cricket on a professional level in the past, which she did at the time she interrupted her tennis career for a year. This time, she diversified her wait for the release of measures in the region with golf and won a hole in the club where her friend Garry Kissick trains.
Due to the closed borders of Queensland, Barty is still without direct contact with the coach and does not devote herself fully to tennis. She hasn’t started anywhere since the restart of the season after the coronavirus break, she missed the US Open in New York. Next week, she will not even defend the title at Roland Garros, where she defeated Markéta Vondroušová in the final last year.
