What’s next for Ash Barty after quitting tennis at the top of her game

Australian legend and former No.1 tennis seed Ash Barty talks exclusively to Forbes Australia about quitting tennis at the top of her game, what makes her tick and what is next for Brand Barty.  

There are not many athletes in Australia, albeit in the world, who engender the kind of love, inspiration and motivation that former No.1 tennis star Ash Barty does. While her retirement at the peak of her career in 2022 at age 25 took the world by surprise, what she does next off the court will undoubtedly only add to her long list of accomplishments.   

It has been just more than a year since 26-year-old Barty won the Australian Open Grand Slam, taking her ranking to No.1 in the world. In March 2022, only two months after the win, she announced her retirement.
