Ash Barty Retires from Tennis at 25 Rank #1 Peak of Career

Ash Barty retirement as it happened: Australian tennis star announces shock retirement via Instagram

She has made a lot of money and gets to retire on her own terms. Would have liked to see more of her. Nice to see an Australian Tennis player who is respectable role model. She wants to pursue other dreams and found it hard away from family.

    I don't know why OP is now disabled. But I personally don't mind such topics if they are in the right forum. I realise this is a bargain site and not WP, but I do appreciate the differing view points and quick responses that usually occur here. Anyway, RIP OP.

    • Don't worry he will change a # and come back .

    • OP had served a few times in the Penalty Box, and their most recent post actually tried to release details of someone that supposedly scammed them, before admin closed it down

      OP isn't that innocent

        Hi AltLevity👋

  • Who?

  • Who cares ?

    • If you don’t care, the best option would be to not even look or respond

        Why is that the best option?

        They have as much right to post an opinion as you…

        • They do, but if you don't care why bother to waste time on it ?

          • @Danstar:

            bother to waste time on it ?

            How is that different to commenting about someone who doesn't care?

    Obviously she just doesn't love tennis that much.

  • we need a post about OP who posts about random thoughts but is no longer an Ozbargain 'member'

  • Professional sports is hard and hardly anyone goes past 30-35 if they're anything conscious about health and how long humans live.

    Also, it's tough missing out on everything in everyone's lives. I've done it for a year and I missed some big events (aka a funeral) that I can never get back.

    Good luck to her and I hope her wedding planning goes smoothly.

      • Touché.

        Well, we all know Tom Brady is somewhat like Jimmy Barnes and comeback tours.

        I edit to say "solo professional sports beyond the Olympics"

    Why is the front page on Ozbargain not updated as frequently like Reddit. Now this thread will stay here for 3 days.

    • Here's a comment to keep the thread here for even longer

  • I would love to see her in my life

  • Just let her live. Nico Rosberg did the same thing. Reached his goal and realised he had a lot of life to live still.

    • Nico Rosberg did the same thing. Reached his goal.

      He quit because he realised he'd never be as good as Schumacher..

      • Or Lewis Hamilton also on 7 titles

  • How dare she do what she wants to

    • Are you calling her selfish ?

      • They call her hell
        They call her Stacey
        They call her Her
        They call her Jane
