Women's No. 1 Ash Barty announces her retirement, sitting down with longtime
friend Casey Dellacqua to discuss her reasons and happiness in walking away.

Ash Barty surprisingly retired from tennis at age 25 while ranked No. 1 and less
than two months after winning the Australian Open for her third Grand Slam
singles title.

"I'm so happy, and I'm so ready. I just know at the moment, in my heart, for me
as a person, this is right," Barty said, her voice shaky at times, during a
six-minute video posted on her Instagram account Wednesday in Australia.

Saying it was time to "chase other dreams," Barty said she no longer feels
compelled to do what she knows is required to be the best she can be at tennis.

Barty announced her engagement to trainee golf professional Garry Kissick in
November, leading up to the Australian Open. The pair had been dating since
2016.

"It's the first time I've actually said it out loud, and yeah, it's hard to
say," Barty said of her decision to retire, which she announced during an
informal interview with her former doubles partner, Casey Dellacqua. "I don't
have the physical drive, the emotional want and everything it takes to challenge
yourself at the very top of the level any more. I am spent."

This is not the first time Barty has walked away from tennis. She was the
Wimbledon junior champion at age 15 in 2011, presaging a promising professional
career, but left the tour entirely for nearly two years in 2014 because of
burnout, saying she was overwhelmed by the pressure and travel required.

She played professional cricket back home in Australia then eventually picked up
a racket and returned to tennis.

Barty went on to win singles major championships on three different surfaces --
on clay at the 2019 French Open, on grass at Wimbledon last year and on the hard
courts of Melbourne Park in January, becoming the first Australian player in 44
years to triumph at the nation's Grand Slam tournament.

But she hasn't played a tournament since being presented with her Australian
Open trophy by seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Evonne Goolagong Cawley,
her mentor and Indigenous and Australian tennis icon, after a straight-sets
final victory over Danielle Collins.

"I am so supportive of Ash that she does what makes her happy," Goolagong Cawley
told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I can't wait to see what happens in the
next chapter of Ash's life and what helps her achieve her dreams."

Barty won 15 tour-level titles in singles and 12 in doubles since first turning
pro in 2010. She spent 121 weeks at No. 1 in the rankings, including the past
114 in a row.

Her announcement was all the more stunning from an on-court perspective given
her recent run of success. Barty had won 25 of her past 26 matches and three of
her past four events.

Only one other woman has walked away from the sport while atop the WTA rankings.
Justine Henin was No. 1 when she retired in May 2008, after spending 61
consecutive weeks ranked at the top. Henin also was 25 at the time of her
retirement, but she did come back two years after her announcement, reaching the
final of the 2010 Australian Open before stepping away for good in 2011.

In a statement released by the WTA, CEO Steve Simon called Barty "the ultimate
competitor" and said she "has always led by example through the unwavering
professionalism and sportsmanship she brought to every match."

"We will miss her," Simon said.

During her 21-month sabbatical from tennis as a teen, Barty played cricket with
the Brisbane Heat of the Women's Big Bash League. She returned to tennis in May
2016, playing a $50,000 ITF event in Eastbourne -- winning three qualifying
matches and three more in the main draw.

One year later, she was ranked No. 88. By the end of 2017, Barty was an
established member of the top 20.

"I know I've done this before," Barty said with a laugh in the retirement video,
"but in a very different feeling. I'm so grateful to everything that tennis has
given me. It's given me all of my dreams, plus more, but I know that the time is
right now for me to step away and chase other dreams and to, yeah, put the
rackets down."

A semifinal loss to Petra Kvitova in Doha, Qatar, in February was the last match
she played in 2020; Barty stayed home in Australia for the balance of the season
when the pandemic emerged.

After six months on the road in 2021 and after winning five titles, including at
Wimbledon, Barty ended her season abruptly after a loss to Shelby Rogers at the
US Open.

"Wimbledon last year changed a lot for me as a person and for me as an athlete,"
Barty said. "When you work so hard your whole life for one goal -- to be able to
win Wimbledon, which was my dream, the one true dream that I wanted in tennis --
that really changed my perspective."

She described what she termed a "gut feeling" after Wimbledon about maybe being
ready to move on, but she also described herself then as not "quite fulfilled."
Her victory at the Australian Open satisfied another gap, and Barty said she was
completely aware that "my happiness wasn't dependent on the results."

Barty's closing words, at least for now -- she has a news conference planned for
Thursday -- came at the end of the video.

"I'll never, ever, ever stop loving tennis," she said. "It will always be a
massive part of my life, but now I think it's important I get to enjoy the next
phase of my life as Ash Barty the person, not Ash Barty the athlete."
