Good on her.

She's achieved what she wanted to, she's not motivated by money, records or fame, she's got more than enough cash to do what she want's.

Class act on and off the court
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Yep, spot on Stui.

$31 million and retired @ 25... it's a no brainer.

Pure speculation but there is a rumour going around that Barty wants to play with Richmond in the AFLW next season. Good on her if this is true. An absolute legend on and off the Court. Shame that a certain male tennis player doesn’t show the same dignity
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
