How long until she comes back? Two years?

Barty has always marched to the sound of a different drum - We must realize that she was never forced into the sport, she's not the breadwinner for her family and of course she is financially secure - It's a blow for the WT to lose the number one player, however she wasn't the type to put her the sport into lights because of her private personality - Actually the WTA has had no luck with number one players when you consider the limited schedule that she played - The most disappointing aspect of Barty's retirement is that she had the most beautiful game - Her game was a work of art.

Will come back in 2-5 years so her child can see her play ala Aussie Kim!

Our future world number 1

(congrats Ash and partner. I have a feeling he won't play tennis as his future career)

Congrats to Ash and Garry and welcome Hayden to the world. Who knows what he is going to do. Ash will be very mumsy, I bet she has another one in less than two years.
