And finally... 🖐 Tour-leading five WTA titles in 2021 🙌 Reigning Wimbledon champion ☝️ Third straight Year-End World No.1 ranking @ashbarty receives the honor of WTA Player of the Year for the second time in her career 🏆
The WTA has announced the recipients of it's year-ending awards, and Australian Ashleigh Barty has been named as the WTA Player of the Year.
This is the second time in her career that Barty has gone home with the prestigious award, after winning it in 2019. The 25-year had an outstanding 2021 season, capturing a tour-leading five WTA singles titles. Although she won titles at Miami, Stuttgart and Cincinnati, her biggest victory came at the Wimbledon Championships, where she lifted her second Grand Slam trophy.
Despite a third round loss at the US Open and her withdrawal from Indian Wells and the WTA Finals, Barty had done enough to secure the year-end No.1 ranking for the third consecutive year.
The Queensland native has since returned home after spending over six months on the road, and is currently preparing for next year's Australian Open, which kicks off on January 17, 2022.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
