Ashleigh Barty's memoir will be published in November where she will talk about her career and the decision to step away from the sport.
Some of the memoir's contents are already known, including Barty's unfiltered discussion of her choice to retire. She brazenly discussed the subject, acknowledging that it was a lack of motivation that was strengthened by her achieving a long-held goal - winning Wimbledon.
“Winning Wimbledon was the single thing I wanted my whole career. But after that feat, in June 2021, the fire died inside" said Barty to News Corp adding:
“I don’t know what I’m playing for anymore. I think I’m done. I have got nothing left, no spark.”
Barty hasn't given tennis a single thought since she officially retired almost ten months ago. She got married and spent time with her family in Australia after she put her racquet away, something she always prioritized above all else.
“I tried to keep it raw and honest and not hide anything. We put it together in a way where we tried to let everyone in.’’ - Barty said about her memoir coming in November of this year.
