Barty speaks about training methods: "There are times where on-court coaching does help me and there are times when I don't use it"

Ashleigh Barty discussed training methods and said that there are times when training on the court doesn't help her so she doesn't use it.

Barty also said that from her perspective not having the option of having constant training; while on-court during Major tournaments means that from her perspective; she has to learn to keep it simple and figure it out herself anyway.

"I think that's an Australian quality; we all want to be known as fighters," Barty said. "When I finish my career, I want to be known as someone who was respected by their peers; who gave everything on the court and never rolled over but played the game in the right spirit.

Hopefully, I'm doing all those things; also my best to fight for the victory in every match. You never know what can happen in sport; there are no guarantees or certainties and it is essential to stay in the game as long as possible.

There have been so many great moments from 2019 that I'm very proud of; and some that other people wouldn't notice but were still essential for me. There are times where on-court coaching does help me and there are times when I don't use it.

If anything, it's more just to get a different voice; it's there to use, and I figure why not use it when it's in the rule book and you're allowed to. If you can use it effectively, it's a positive thing.

Tyzz does an incredible job of keeping it very simple; being very clear and concise in what I need to do. But, we have to play Majors without that option and I have no issue trying to figure out the problem by myself."
