Though the likes of Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios are dominating the headlines for their off court demeanour, Ash Barty is taking quiet strides at the Australian Open and John McEnroe shared his thoughts on the young Australian, who is still alive at the Australian Open.
I like her (Barty) in a lot of ways, she plays with a lot of energy. To me, shes someone I can relate to because I believe shes become a better player because she plays doubles, tennis legend John McEnroe said on the Channel 9 coverage of Barty.
Shes probably the best volleyer in the womens game right now and that pumps me up. Shes very aggressive too. He further added, The down side for her is shes not as big as a lot of the other players – she could potentially be blown off the court if one of these big hitters has a big day.
But she competes really well, like Alex de Minaur, theyre two of the best competitors around youll see. Usually if you make a great effort, good things happen and its happened with both of those two right now.
Barty faces Greek Maria Sakkari for a place in the Second Week of the Australian Open, with a possible clash against either of former champions Caroline Wozniacki or Maria Sharapova for a place in the Quarterfinals.
