"It doesn't matter what code you're playing or what sport you're playing the dream of the @Olympics is always there." Next week @ashbarty's dream of representing @TennisAustralia at an Olympic Games will become a reality #Tokyo2020 #Tennis
Ashleigh Barty will fulfil a longtime dream of hers at the Tokyo Olympic Games by representing Australia.
The Wimbledon champion will look to extend her great form lately to the hard courts where she will hope of winning a gold medal for Australia. Sitting down and talking with ITF Barty said:
“Being an Olympian has always been a dream of mine as a kid, I think representing your country is the highest honour. For an Aussie, it’s the best thing you can do and I can’t wait to have an opportunity to wear the green and gold."
Barty will be one of the favourites at the event considering her current form and level displayed in 2021. Her biggest disappointment came at the Australian Open where she lost to Muchova in three sets on the surface that awaits her in Tokyo.
For Barty individual success at the Olympics is not as important as representing Australia:
“You’re playing for something bigger than yourself. You’re playing to represent your nation. You’re playing to make people proud and that’s
not just with results, it’s with your attitude."
She also candidly admitted of dreaming about being on the podium. She said:
“You have to dream (of being on the podium). It’s a spine-tingling
feeling but you have to dream. You have to dare to dream and I think you have to allow yourself to think ‘what if’ and ‘why not me’. It would be
a dream come true.”

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
