In a power dominant era brought on by the Williams sisters, Ash Barty is changing the meta and ushering in a playstyle that could be the winning formula.
Ash Barty is one of the most tactical players on the WTA Tour, incorporating a playstyle that mixes in plenty of slices, drop shots, lobs, and pinpoint groundstrokes and serves. In an era of powerful serves going over the 200km/h mark and groundstrokes going over 120km/h, it’s refreshing to see a Grand Slam champion and world No.1 who takes on a different approach to the game.
