Ashleigh Bartya former Australian player, heaped praise on Every Swiatek, current number 1 in the WTA. In this regard, she commented: “Iga is a breath of fresh air on the circuit. She absolutely dominated this season. She was several levels above the rest and it has been incredible to see her flourish throughout the year.”.
If there is an authorized word to talk about the current number 1, it is, precisely, a former number 1. In an interview given to The Guardian, the Australian extolled the Polish player although, at the same time, she warned that after her retirement she could not see so many matches on the circuit. Of course, Swiatek’s season numbers are truly astounding. The more than 6000 points that separate it from Ons Jabeursecond in the ranking, are just an indication of the superiority shown by the 21-year-old girl.
Despite the fact that she was in the prime of her career, and only 26 years old, Ashleigh Barty had announced her definitive retirement from tennis at the beginning of the year. Her last match was on January 29 in the final of the Australian Open in what was her first and only title in the ocean competition.
Far from tennis. The Australian continues to advance with new projects that are not so closely linked to the sport of the yellow ball. One of them is the publication of her autobiography and the other is the officialization of her own foundation.
