A few days ago, the news that The current WTA women's singles world number one Barty announced his retirement instantly detonated the entire world tennis world. The 26-year-old Australian tennis star has previously successfully reached the top in the 2022 Australian Open women's singles final, winning the first Australian Open women's singles championship trophy in his career, while also winning his third Grand Slam. Just when everyone was expecting her to win the French Open again this season, she suddenly announced on her personal social media that she would officially retire from professional tennis. Barty said he was very grateful for everything the sport had brought, and as for the specific reasons and more news, he would announce it at a press conference on the 24th.
Many fans were shocked to see the news of Barty's retirement, because, judging from the current world women's tennis landscape, as the world's first and most advanced technical and tactical play, Barty is the favorite to win the four Grand Slam tournaments. But this decision to retire must also be the result of her repeated thinking. Barty is a rare talent in Australian women's tennis, and she became famous at a young age. However, due to the fact that several large flowers such as Serena Williams and Sharapova are too eye-catching, Barty has always had a hard time getting out.
With the fading of several top stars, Barty finally had a chance to dominate. She has won the Grand Slam women's singles title three times, the French Open in 2019, Wimbledon in 2021 and the most recent Australian Open. Of the four Grand Slam tournaments, only the US Open women's singles championship trophy has not yet engraved Battie's name. With such a favorable situation, why did Barty choose to retire? Why not take this opportunity to achieve career success? Barty said: "I no longer have the motivation and desire to challenge myself with everything I need. Winning the Wimbledon women's singles title is his biggest pursuit, and he even thinks that he can successfully end his tennis career. But then, I found that I still had a goal to complete, that is, the Australian Open on my doorstep. With the triumph of the 2022 Australian Open women's singles final, Barty fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the people of Australia. Ending her career with an Australian Open women's singles title seemed to Barty to be the most opportune time.
Fans around the world have also given their own judgment. Some argue that having won three Grand Slam titles and won the coveted Australian Open women's singles title trophy for the Australians, Barty's career has been successful enough. In addition to the game prize money, Barty has already made a lot of money in advertising endorsements and commercial activities outside the arena. Choosing to retire at this point in time may be that she wants to start a new life and do what she wants to do, other than tennis. It is worth mentioning that Barty is the second player in the WTA to announce the end of her career in the world at no. 1, the first being Belgian star Henin, who announced her retirement in May 2008. There is also speculation that Barty may have chosen to retire early due to personal factors.
Maybe it is about to enter the palace of marriage, and I don't want to live a life of southern conquest and northern war and running around the world. Maybe it's because Barty has lost her fun with tennis, coupled with the epidemic raging, she is worried about her health all the time; or maybe it's because she realizes that her competitive state has reached its limit, and in high-intensity training and competition, she has no confidence in winning a Grand Slam again. In the 2022 season, Barty achieved a record of 11 wins and 0 losses, and this time announced his retirement in this way, which made world tennis fans can't help but sigh, "domineering enough"!
