World No 1 tennis player Ash Barty has stunned the tennis world by announcing her retirement from the sport at the age of 25. She made the announcement during an emotional interview with fellow Australian tennis player Casey Dellacqua, which she shared on Instagram. 'I’m so grateful to everything tennis has given me. It’s given me all of my dreams plus more', Barty said. 'But I know that the time is right for me to step away and chase other dreams and to put the racquets down'

I think its so hard for people to understand something like this, myself included, because it goes against everything we are taught is important. Winning everything, longevity, earnings. But what an amazing example she is of showing us that there is more to life than just your job. And that you should do exactly what you think will make you happy.. This is really powerful.

Really provides perspective of the men and and women who are still grinding i.e. Rafa , Serena. Congrats Ash, you are loved and appreciated. We’re lucky to have been around to see you play.

ATP had 12 years of inconsistency before Federer, from 90 to 02. Guess what has happening in the WTA between those years. Graf, Seles a few years and Sánchez Vicario were owning the tour. Hingis too towards the end of the decade, and the Williams sisters just started to rise and continue the reign over WTA for the next 15 years. People forget about that period so quickly. There were a lot more 1 or only 2 GS winners on the men's side between 1990 and 2002, continuing towards 2003. Just before Roger and Rafa showed up.

How many people work so hard to get themselves on the spot somewhere…when we get there having given it all…we start looking around thinking “I would like to do something else now”…but by the time we reach that spot we are too involved in our careers, our lives, our loans to take a chance…well done Miss Barty, what an inspiration!
