The hint that Ash Barty may be returning to tennis shows an adorable photo with her three-month-old son Hayden
Retired tennis champion Ash Barty recently sent fans into a frenzy by suggesting she was considering a return to the game.
The 27-year-old Wimbledon champion posted a photo on Instagram of herself tenderly holding her three-month-old son Hayden in her arms while visiting a local tennis court.
Ash wore a bright red polo shirt, a Wimbledon baseball cap and a mini tennis racket for her little son.
Fans were quick to notice Ash’s choice of gym attire and suggested that it could be a telling hint that she plans to return to the game at some point.
‘Come back?!’ asked one excited fan.

“Can’t wait to see all the headlines after this.” “Barty will be returning after her baby is born,” said another.
“Please come out of retirement,” a third person added, and another chimed in: “We need you back on the tour.”
Ash and her husband Garry Kissick welcomed their son Hayden in July.
She spoke to News Corp shortly after giving birth and revealed what her life was like as a new mother.
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and the hardest thing,” she said.
“Hayden is great, I feel so lucky.” “Garry and I are just enjoying some pretty quiet time together at home as a little family.”
She said the bond she formed with Hayden was “incredible.”

The Queensland native married her husband Garry in July last year in a private ceremony at a secret location in Queensland.
She met her husband during a round of golf at Brooklands Golf Club in Queensland in 2016 and they have been together ever since.
The 27-year-old sensationally quit the sport at the peak of her powers after reaching the decisive turning point at the Australian Open in January 2022 and dismissed suggestions that she might return to professional sport in the future.
In her memoir My Dream Time, Ash reveals how the passionate desire that made her a champion began to fade after her Wimbledon victory in 2021.
