Encyclopedic overview
Ashleigh Jacinta Barty AO (born 24 April 1996) is an Australian former professional tennis player and cricketer. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for 121 weeks, and was ranked world No. 5 in doubles. Barty won 12 WTA Tour-level singles titles, and three majors at the 2019 French Open, 2021 Wimbledon Championships, and 2022 Australian Open, as well as the 2019 WTA Finals. She also won 12 doubles titles, including a major at the 2018 US Open with CoCo Vandeweghe.
A successful junior, Barty was the junior world No. 2 and won the 2011 Wimbledon girls' singles title. As a teenager, Barty had early success in doubles on the WTA Tour in 2013, finishing runner-up at three major doubles events with Casey Dellacqua. Late in the 2014 season, Barty decided to take an indefinite break from tennis, playing cricket instead. She signed with the Brisbane Heat for the inaugural Women's Big Bash League season despite having no formal training in the sport.
