-'''Ashleigh Barty''' {{post-nominals|size=100%|country=AUS|AO}} (born 24 April 1996) is an <!--Do not add "Indigenous" or "Aboriginal", as her indigenous heritage is already covered in this section.-->Australian retired professional [[tennis]] player and [[cricket]]er. She was the second Australian tennis player to be ranked [[List of WTA number 1 ranked singles tennis players|No. 1]] in the world in singles by the [[Women's Tennis Association]] (WTA) after fellow Indigenous Australian [[Evonne Goolagong Cawley]],{{efn|[[Margaret Court]] was also ranked No. 1 in singles before the WTA rankings were established in 1975.}} holding the ranking for 121 weeks overall. She was also a top-10 player in doubles, having achieved a career-high ranking of No. 5 in the world. Barty is a three-time [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Tournaments|Grand Slam]] singles champion, and the reigning champion at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and the [[Australian Open]]. She is also a Grand Slam doubles champion, having won the [[2018 US Open – Women's doubles|2018 US Open]] with [[CoCo Vandeweghe]]. Barty won 15 singles titles and 12 doubles titles on the WTA Tour.
+Barty was born in [[Ipswich, Queensland|Ipswich]], [[Queensland]] and grew up in [[Springfield, Queensland]]. She has an [[Indigenous Australian]] background through her father.
-Born in [[Ipswich, Queensland]], Barty began playing tennis at the age of four in nearby [[Brisbane]]. She had a promising junior career, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 2 in the world after winning the [[2011 Wimbledon Championships – Girls' singles|2011 Wimbledon girls' singles]] title. As a teenager, Barty had early success in doubles on the WTA Tour in 2013, finishing runner-up at three Grand Slam doubles events with veteran [[Casey Dellacqua]], including at the [[2013 Australian Open – Women's doubles|2013 Australian Open]] while 16 years old. Late in the 2014 season, Barty decided to take an indefinite break from tennis. She ended up playing cricket during this hiatus, signing with the [[Brisbane Heat Women|Brisbane Heat]] for the inaugural [[Women's Big Bash League]] season despite having no formal training in the sport.
-Barty returned to tennis in early 2016. She had a breakthrough year in singles in 2017, winning her first WTA title at the [[2017 Malaysian Open – Singles|Malaysian Open]] and rising to No. 17 in the world despite having never been ranked inside the top 100 before her time off. She also had another prolific year in doubles with Dellacqua, culminating in her first appearance at the [[2017 WTA Finals – Doubles|WTA Finals]] in doubles. Barty then won her first Premier Mandatory and Grand Slam tournament titles in doubles in 2018 before accomplishing the same feat in singles in 2019, highlighted by her victory at the [[2019 French Open – Women's singles|2019 French Open]]. Barty won five more titles in 2021, including a second major singles title at the [[2021 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles|2021 Wimbledon Championships]] and two [[WTA 1000]] titles. With her title at the [[2022 Australian Open – Women's singles|2022 Australian Open]], she won a major in singles on all three surfaces. Barty has also led [[Australia Fed Cup team|Australia]] to a runner-up finish at the [[2019 Fed Cup]] and won a bronze medal in mixed doubles at the [[Tennis at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Mixed doubles|Tokyo Olympics]] in 2021.
-Barty was an all-court player with a wide variety of shots. Despite her short stature for a professional tennis player, she was an excellent server, regularly ranking among the WTA Tour's leaders in aces and percentage of service points won. She serves as the National Indigenous Tennis Ambassador for [[Tennis Australia]]. Barty announced her retirement from tennis in March 2022, two months after her Australian Open title and still ranked No. 1 in singles at the time, having held the ranking for all but four weeks between June 2019 and April 2022 when she relinquished the ranking. Her 114 consecutive weeks at No. 1 (not including when rankings were frozen between March and August 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]) is the fourth-longest streak in WTA history.<ref name=retirement/>

-After the 2014 US Open, Barty announced she was "[taking] a break from professional tennis."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tennis.com.au/news/2014/09/19/barty-takes-a-break|title=Barty Takes a Break|publisher=Tennis Australia|date=19 September 2014|access-date=20 September 2014|archive-date=21 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721082947/https://www.tennis.com.au/news/2014/09/19/barty-takes-a-break|url-status=live}}</ref> She later said that she took time off from tennis because "it was too much too quickly for me as I've been travelling from quite a young age... I wanted to experience life as a normal teenaged girl and have some normal experiences."<ref name=too-quickly-quote/> Barty was ranked outside of the top 200 in singles and was No. 40 in doubles at the time.<ref name=wta-rankings/>
-Barty became interested in potentially playing cricket after meeting with the [[Australia women's national cricket team|Australian women's national team]] in early 2015 to discuss her experience as a professional athlete. She was intrigued by the opportunity to play a team sport as a change from the individual sport of tennis. At the time, she had no competitive cricket experience, having only played casually with her family. Barty later approached Queensland Cricket about how she could get involved with the sport. Andy Richards, the coach of the [[Queensland Fire]] and soon-to-be coach of the [[Brisbane Heat (WBBL)|Brisbane Heat]], was immediately impressed with Barty's skill set, saying, "Her skill from the first time she picked up a bat was outstanding from a coach's perspective... She never missed a ball in her first session... That's what attracted me as a coach to her as a player, her ability to pick up things really quickly."<ref name=smh-cricket>{{cite web |title=Ash Barty completes code switch from tennis to cricket |url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/ash-barty-completes-code-switch-from-tennis-to-cricket-20151014-gk8psb.html |website=Sydney Morning Herald |date=14 October 2015 |access-date=20 August 2018 |archive-date=21 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721082844/https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/ash-barty-completes-code-switch-from-tennis-to-cricket-20151014-gk8psb.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="guardian-cricket">{{cite web |title=Ash Barty turns back on tennis to play women's cricket for Brisbane Heat |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/oct/14/ash-barty-turns-back-on-tennis-to-play-womens-cricket-for-brisbane-heat |website=The Guardian |date=14 October 2015 |access-date=20 August 2018 |archive-date=21 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721082837/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/oct/14/ash-barty-turns-back-on-tennis-to-play-womens-cricket-for-brisbane-heat |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="courier-cricket">{{cite web |url= http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/tennis/ash-barty-chooses-cricket-ahead-of-tennis-as-her-exile-from-the-sport-continues/story-fnii0pkt-1227458518125?sv=6d993fb1cb9ff71bfbb3d98cf5e9d9b3 |title= Ash Barty chooses cricket ahead of tennis as her exile from the sport continues |author= Paul Malone |publisher= The Courier Mail |date= 27 July 2015 |access-date= 14 October 2015 |archive-date= 30 May 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200530025453/https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/tennis/ash-barty-chooses-cricket-ahead-of-tennis-as-her-exile-from-the-sport-continues/news-story/c1b7841756b3b5164dcf67d9f8945e4e?sv=6d993fb1cb9ff71bfbb3d98cf5e9d9b3&nk=9bb320f0419821673acd0581df11cd4e-1590807293 |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Ash Barty |url=https://www.cricket.com.au/players/ash-barty/eLjvswVphkW0rMJjPKTwNQ |website=Cricket.com.au |access-date=20 August 2018 |archive-date=21 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721082843/https://www.cricket.com.au/players/ash-barty/eLjvswVphkW0rMJjPKTwNQ |url-status=live }}</ref>
