‘You’ve made us so proud Ash’ Twitter reacts as Ashleigh Barty lifts the Wimbledon 2021 title

Ashleigh Barty

Ashleigh Barty scripted one of the most beautiful stories in tennis as she went on to lift the Wimbledon 2021 title. Playing her only Grass tournament of the season and coming into the Grand Slam on the back of consecutive injury withdrawals from her previous tournaments, Barty went on to win her 2nd Grand Slam title.

10 years after winning the 2011 Wimbledon Juniors title, Barty won the title marking a special occasion as her mentor, Evonne Googalong Cawley won her first Wimbledon title back in 1971.

Five years ago I met up with Ash Barty at the Gabba in Brisbane, in the midst of her cricket hiatus.

At that point, she said returning to tennis was "a coin toss."

Thank goodness for her, and for tennis, that it landed the right way for her.#Wimbledon https://t.co/hR52iNeJ25
