Ashleigh Barty on having a child: "It's the best thing that I've ever done, I think it's incomparable to being an athlete"

Ashleigh Barty recently said that being a mother is more fulfilling than conquering tennis courts and opponents in different parts of the world.

In an interview with Body and Soul, Barty was asked what has been more rewarding for her, being a mother or the champion of Australia. In her response, she immediately chose motherhood.

"Without a doubt, not even a comparison. Absolutely. There were plenty of times throughout my career when I thought training was hard or I had some tough days, but it just goes to a whole new level when you become a mum," Barty said.

Barty also spoke about learning the ins and outs of raising a baby from her two sisters. She said:

"I was very lucky to be able to watch my sisters raise their two kids. But it's a completely different ball game when it’s your own child. It's relentless – it’s 24/7 – but it's so rewarding and, honestly, it's the best thing that I've ever done. I think it's incomparable to being an athlete."

Ashleigh Barty grew up with her sisters Sara and Ali and is the youngest of the three.
