Barty inspires her to a large extent, according to the French tennis ace, who played doubles with her in the Innisbrook ITF tournament in America in 2013. Lim was able to witness firsthand the relentless game that has helped Barty become a three-time Grand Slam champion, as she indicated in her words that if she had to choose whose tennis games she would choose, it would be the Aussie’s.

The 31-year-old took to Twitter to express her viewpoint. As per her, “Even years ago, every time someone played the game of asking me “whose tennis game would you pick if you could choose ?” I always replied Ash Barty! Congrats on an outstanding career @ashbarty and enjoy retirement.”
