On March 24, local time, the Australian star Barty, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the WTA women's singles world, announced his retirement from professional tennis and held a press conference.
Barty, 26, is a three-time Grand Slam winner in her prime age for professional players.
In the 2019 French Open final, Barty defeated Wandrosova to win her first Grand Slam title.
In the 2021 Wimbledon final, Batty defeated Pliskova and won the women's singles championship for the first time in the event.
In the 2022 Australian Open, which ended in January this year, Barty won the women's singles championship trophy in her hometown, raising the number of individual Grand Slam titles to three.
In other words, Barty, who was at the peak of his career, announced his retirement when he was less than two months away from winning the Australian Open.
