Ash Barty talks family, representation and Barbie collab

Former world No. 1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Ash Barty continues to inspire beyond the tennis court. In a recent interview, Barty opened up about the values that drive her—family, representation, and her exciting collaboration with Barbie.

Since retiring from professional tennis in 2022, Barty has focused on her personal life, recently welcoming her first child. She emphasized how motherhood has given her a new perspective, reinforcing her belief in the importance of strong role models and inclusive representation.

A proud Indigenous Australian, Barty has long championed diversity in sports and beyond. She shared how she hopes to pave the way for young girls—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—to dream big and pursue their passions with confidence.

Her latest project with Barbie celebrates those ideals. Honored with her very own Barbie doll, Barty sees this as an opportunity to inspire the next generation. “It’s about showing young girls that they can be anything they set their minds to,” she said.

From the tennis court to new ventures, Barty remains a powerful role model. Whether through her achievements, advocacy, or motherhood, she continues to make an impact, proving that success is about more than trophies—it’s about the legacy you leave behind.
