CINCINNATI, Aug 20 ― World number one Ash Barty looked in impressive form as she stormed into the quarter-finals of the Western & Southern Open yesterday, the Australian happy to play as much as possible on an unusually long stint away from home.
The 25-year-old Queenslander stayed at home in 2020 as Covid-19 spread around the world but this season elected to return to the peripatetic life of the tennis professional. “It is going to be an adventure, and we are going to have to find ways to not only enjoy it, but entertain ourselves at times.” “There have been times where I've felt like days have been long, everything is dragged out,” said Barty, who next plays French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova for a place in the Cincinnati semi-finals.
