Ash Barty retires: Tennis rocked as world number one quits game at age 25

The Independent says World number one tennis player Ash Barty has rocked the sporting world as she announced her shock retirement from the game at the age of 25.

Barty, who was at peak of her career as the reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon Champion, dropped the bombshell news in an emotional sit-down interview with close friend and former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua on Wednesday.

“There is no right way, no wrong way — it’s just my way. And this is perfect for me, to share it with you, to talk to you about it, with my team, my loved ones, that I will be retiring from tennis,” the Australian star, whose full name is Ashleigh Barty, said while holding back tears.
