Former World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty on Tuesday announced the birth of her first child.
“Our beautiful boy. Welcome to the world, Hayden!” Barty wrote on Instagram along with a photo of the newborn.
Barty, who is married to Garry Kissick, announced her retirement in March 2022 — two months after she won the Australian Open. She also won Grand Slam singles titles at the 2019 French Open and 2021 Wimbledon.
She won 27 combined titles (15 singles, 12 doubles) and earned nearly $24 million in prize money.
Barty held the WTA’s No. 1 rating for 114 consecutive weeks, the fourth-longest streak in history. Only Steffi Graf (186 weeks), Serena Williams (186) and Martina Navratilova (156) had longer runs.
