Ashleigh Barty's retirement 'not understandable' to Karolina Pliskova but suggests Australian may return
Karolina Pliskova says she can’t relate to Ashleigh Barty’s retirement from tennis as she “likes the game so much” – and thinks the Australian could return to the sport. Barty shocked the tennis world last month when she announced her decision to retire at the age of 25, saying she no longer had the “physical drive and emotional want” to compete at the top level. Ad/> Barty won her second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year and is the second player to retire while holding the world No.1 ranking after Justine Henin.
