Barty was just one month shy of her 26<sup>th<\/sup> birthday and was the reigning World No. 1 when she made the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had sensationally won the French Open in 2019, the Wimbledon in 2021, and the Australian Open earlier this year, and her reign of 114 consecutive weeks at No.1 continues to be the fourth-longest streak in the history of the WTA Tour, behind Germany\u2019s Steffi Graf (186 weeks), American stalwart Serena Williams (186) and Czechoslovakian-American great Martina Navratilova (156). Barty\u2019s 121 total weeks as the top-ranked player are No.7 in the all-time list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all the successes as well as the dominance she showed in the sport, Barty recently reiterated her initial point. Speaking at Melbourne Park \u2014 the venue of her last Grand Slam singles title this year \u2014 for a promotional activity, she mentioned that she has no intention of coming out of retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interaction with The Age, the 26-year-old clearly elucidated, \u201cI\u2019m done (with professional tennis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was searching for other things, but now I don\u2019t need that. Now I\u2019ve probably understood and realized that I\u2019ve had an extremely full, fulfilling incredible journey\u2026 in my professional career and now it\u2019s time to close that chapter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the nature of her career and how she decided to retire prematurely in her mid-20s because of the continued stress, it goes without saying that speculation surrounding her return has always been rife with hopeful fans and optimists believing that she will return sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reminded that this year she had said \u201cnever say never&#8221; about staging a comeback, Barty\u2019s reply was \u201cNever!&#8221;, according to the report. \u201cI\u2019m done \u2026 No, no, no,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian has also added that she doesn\u2019t see herself in the commentary box during tennis matches either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have also been suggestions that the 26-year-old may take up professional golf or cricket in the next phase of her career although these rumors are yet to be officially confirmed by her at any capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Australian World No. 1 Ash Barty stunned the world of tennis as well as her thousands of fans in March this year when she announced her retirement from the sport at the very peak of her career.
