What happened to tennis? The World's Number 1 Retired Suddenly

Although 25-year-old, the Australian made that news known through an announcement in her account on Twitter, writes Periscopi.

She said it was “ably spent” and that there was nothing to give more physically.

Barty won three Grand Slam shots, including this year's Australian Open in January.
