Yesterday, Beijing time, the women's singles world number one, Australia's famous Barty and her coach together with the media interview, on the topic of retirement to answer the reporter's questions. From the interview, it can be seen that Barty had a retreat after winning the Wimbledon title last year, and later insisted on this year's Australian Open with the encouragement of the coaching team. After winning the Australian Open, she wanted to retire again, but as the Australian team qualified for this year's Billy Jane Gold Cup Women's Tennis Team Tournament, which was held in Barty's hometown of Brisbane, she decided to announce her retirement after playing the april 15-16 match, ending her tennis career with a perfect victory.
Unexpectedly, because the defending champion Russia was jointly sanctioned by major tennis organizations because of the Russo-Ukrainian war, it was deprived of the qualification for this year's finals, so the Australian team was able to directly qualify for the November finals instead of participating in the qualifiers. With no motivation to compete, Barty made the decision to announce her retirement in advance, put down her tennis racket and start her next free life. Wish her all the best for her future life!
