Short but sweet: Key moments in Ashleigh Barty's brilliant career

Wimbledon and Australian Open champion Ashleigh Barty announced her shock retirement from tennis on Wednesday aged 25. Here are a few highlights from her short but illustrious career: The Australian wins Wimbledon on the 50th anniversary of fellow indigenous Australian Evonne Goolagong Cawley's triumph there. Barty's victory in 2021 fulfils a dream that leaves her wondering how long she wants to carry on. In her retirement message Barty -- who won the French Open in 2019 -- described her Wimbledon crown as her "one true dream". "I've had a lot of incredible moments in my career that have been pivotal moments and Wimbledon last year changed a lot for me as a person," she said, describing the emotion of an athlete who has worked hard her entire life "for one goal". "To be able to win Wimbledon -- which was my dream, the one true dream that I wanted in tennis -- that really changed my perspective." Even after Wimbledon "there was just a little part of me that wasn't quite satisfied, wasn't quite fulfilled", Barty now says. "And then came the challenge of the Australian Open."
