Just two weeks ago,
Ashleigh Barty
decided that she would not travel to Paris to defend her Roland Garros title.
The decision of the 'number one' of the WTA, who had also previously resigned from the US Open, was a tacit goodbye to the season of the great dominator of the circuit in 2019, when she conquered six titles and rose to the top of the ranking.
For now, Barty is still waiting for sanitary conditions to improve in his country, as he has not even been able to meet with his coach,
Craig Tyzzer
.
In the absence of the racket, he has so far held the golf club.
And its results are amazing.
On Sunday, the great 'aussie' tennis reference won the title at Brookwater Golf Club, a course located on the outskirts of Brisbabe, very close to Ipswich, his hometown.
A 7 & 5 victory in an amateur tournament under the
matchplay
modality
that confirms Barty's exceptional skills with clubs.
The daughter of an amateur player, Barty's relationship with golf intensified beginning in 2016, when she met
Garry Kissick
, an aspiring professional in the PGA
, at Brookwater
.
Since then, the courtship between the tennis star and the golfer has captured the attention of fans.
"I sure could take the leap"
The 'number one', although far from the global popularity of
Coco Gauff
or
Naomi Osaka
, is a star in the oceanic country.
Australians value their passion for cricket, where Barty also stands out above average.
In fact, in 2015 she did not hesitate to play a game with the Brisbane Heat, during the inaugural season of the Women's Big Bash.
However, Ashleigh's talent with golf seems to go one step further.
"He has all the capabilities and if he wanted to make the leap I'm sure he could do it," he assured, "
Louis Dobbelaar
, Sunday's champion in the men's tournament.
Flattery isn't new to Barty, who caught the eye of
Tiger Woods
a year ago
.
"He has a magnificent swing," said the 15 'majors' champion as soon as he saw her play in Melbourne, home of the Presidents Cup.
