La noticia de la retirada de la tenista australiana Ashleigh Barty a los 25 años cuando ocupaba el número 1 del mundo del ranking WTA ha conmocionado al mundo del deporte. Sin embargo, el mundo del tenis ya ha vivido a lo largo de su historia episodios similares al sucedido hoy con Barty con retiradas muy tempranas de grandes estrellas. A continuación repasamos la retirada de otras ilustres raquetas de forma muy temprana.
Express Sport tennis correspondent Yasmin Syed is set to star in the fourth episode of the new 'Women in Sport' series. The show has already featured the likes of McLaren development driver Katie Milner, Olympic boxing star Caroline Dubois and BT Sport presenter Jules Breach in our bid to highlight the crucial role women play in sport in support of the #SheCan movement.
Ashleigh Barty says “there is no better person” than Iga Swiatek to replace her as world No. 1 after the Australian’s bombshell retirement aged 25. Barty was tipped to dominate for the next decade after ending a 44-year wait for a home winner at the Australian Open, with Eurosport expert Mats Wilander claiming she could win 10 more Grand Slams after taking women’s tennis to the “next level”.
Taylor Fritz afronta esta semana el Masters 1.000 de Miami, el Miami Open, con nuevos bríos tras conseguir el mayor éxito de su carrera la semana pasada en el Masters 1.000 de Indian Wells tras ganar en la final a Rafa Nadal en un encuentro en el que el balear jugó con molestias en las costillas mientras que Fritz lo hizo con dolores en el tobillo que casi le dejan sin disputar el partido.
Ashleigh Barty gave an emotional but hugely positive press conference on Thursday to discuss her shock decision to retire from tennis at the age of just 25 — and as the world No. 1. The Australian star, who became the first home player to win an Australian Open singles title in 44 years in January, shocked the sporting world on social media on Wednesday as she said she was leaving to «chase other dreams».
Ash Barty's stunning decision to quit tennis at 25 and at the top of her game left the tennis world stunned but her coach Craig Tyzzer revealed the Australian was ready to bow out years ago just as her career was taking off. Barty, who walked away from the sport in late-2014 and came back in 2016, made her Grand Slam breakthrough at the French Open in 2019, a watershed moment in the Queenslander's career. Tyzzer told reporters in Brisbane on Thursday that he had prepared a speech for Barty about winning at Roland Garros, about "how profound this was going to be and what it meant to her". "The first thing she said to me was, 'Can I retire now?'" "I sort of went, 'Hang on, I'm not ready for that'."
Ashleigh Barty was coy about her future on Thursday, telling media "you'll have to wait and see" as speculation mounts about what comes next after her shock retirement from tennis.
Ashleigh Barty said on Thursday that she will remove herself from the WTA rankings after announcing her retirement, opening the door for Poland's Iga Swiatek to become world number one.
