Ashleigh Barty keeps appearing at golf events and many wonder if the talented Australian plans to start golf career after ending her tennis career.

Fans were left disappointed in the first half of the 2022 tennis season as Ashleigh Barty ended her career a few weeks after winning her third Grand Slam title. However, since the end of her career, the 26-years-old Australian attended various golf events and many wonder if she will start a career in the sport.

“You never have that answer,” Barty told Sky Sports when asked if she will play professionally. “I love the sport, it has been a hobby of mine for a long time, but I don’t know if I will ever be fully committed to going out on the range and doing the required practice and the discipline, but I love the sport.”

“With tennis it is so different. Tennis is a quick pace, reactive, receptive sport. Golf is the opposite. It is slow, you have time to think, you have control and time to analyse what you need to do.“It is a polar opposite, and almost a form of meditation when I was playing tennis.“It is a lot of fun. It can be frustrating but I really enjoy it.”
