Tennis star Ash Barty hits out at No.1 ranking critics – PerthNow
Ash Barty says she deserves her spot at the top of the rankings and that other players had the chance to overtake her during her absence from the WTA Tour.
Ash Barty has dismissed suggestions that she had unfairly held on to the top ranking while opting not to compete on the WTA Tour for most of 2020 due to COVID-19.
With the pandemic preventing many from competing on the tour since March 2020, the WTA tweaked the ranking system last year to ensure that players were not penalised for their inactivity.
The format allowed Barty to retain the No.1 spot even though Naomi Osaka won grand slam titles during Bartys absence.
