In an “interview” with Casey Delaqua, her good friend and former double partner, the Ashley BartyNo.1 in the world rankings, made it known that retires from active action!
Just two months after winning the Australian Open, the 25-year-old Australian is ending her career early, aiming to chase the dreams he has off the field.
“It’s the first time I’ve said it out loud and, yes, it’s hard to say. I no longer have the energy, the emotional will it takes to challenge yourself to the highest level. I’m empty.
I know how much work it takes to make your best self. I have said it many times in my team, I no longer have that. Physically I have nothing else to give. I gave it my all in this wonderful sport and I’m happy about it. For me, this is my success “, mentioned features.
“It changed a lot for me as a person and as an athlete. When you work so hard in your life for a single goal. Winning Wimbledon, which was my dream, the one true dream I had in tennis, changed my perspective. I had this feeling after Wimbledon and talked a lot to my team about it. There was a small part of me that was not satisfied, it was not full. There was a change of perspective in the second phase of my career, my happiness was not dependent on the results “, he added.
While he concluded by saying, “The Australian Open challenge seems like the perfect moment, my perfect moment, to celebrate my wonderful tennis trip. It’s what I want as a person. I want to chase some other dreams I always wanted to do.
I know people may not understand. I’m ok with that. Because I know that Ashley Barty as a person has so many dreams that she wants to pursue and these do not necessarily involve traveling around the world and being away from my family and home, where I always wanted to be. That’s where I grew up. ”
Congratulations on an incredible career, @ashbarty ??
The tennis community, especially in Australia, will miss you dearly but is all the better for the standard you set as a person and a player.
Forever a world No.1 role model ?? pic.twitter.com/oQ8HHgUFIJ
