World number one Ash Barty might not defend her title at the season-ending WTA Finals in Mexico because of the"ridiculous" playing conditions at the venue and the timing of the tournament, her coach Craig Tyzzer said.

Tyzzer said Barty, who won the 2019 WTA Finals before the 2020 edition was cancelled, might also compromise her 2022 Australian Open preparation if she plays in Mexico as she would have to undergo two weeks of home quarantine on her return to Australia. "Pressure-less balls absolutely fly. It's a ball that, if you use it in normal conditions, it doesn't bounce. It's not the greatest advertisement for the best girls in the world to be playing something they've never done before.

Barty, who suffered a third-round exit https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/number-one-barty-loses-third-round-us-open-2021-09-05 at this month's U.S. Open, is"physically and mentally exhausted", said Tyzzer.
