BREAKING: 'The time is right now for me to step away,' says AshleighBarty.

The Australian star announced on Instagram on Tuesday night that she is retiring from tennis, just two months after her win at the Australian Open.“I’m so happy and I’m so ready and I just know at the moment, in my heart for me as a person, this is right,” Barty said in an interview with Casey Dellacqua. “I know I’ve done this before, but in a very different feeling. I’m so grateful to everything that tennis has given me. It’s given me all of my dreams, plus more.

“I just had that gut feeling after Wimbledon … Then came the challenge of the Australian Open,” Barty said. “I think that for me feels like the most perfect way, my perfect way, to celebrate what an amazing journey my tennis career has been.”
