Barty's coach believes the World No.1 still has room for improvement after her Australian Open win

Despite Ashleigh Barty steamrolling through the competition to win the Australian Open title, her coach Craig Tyzzer believes the Aussie is yet to reach her full potential.

Barty defeated Danielle Collins in the Australian Open final to win her third Grand Slam title, becoming the first female Australian player to lift the trophy at Melbourne Park in 44 years.

Following her triumph, coach Craig Tyzzer spoke to the press and revealed the World No.1 still has room to perfect her game.

"There are still areas we are working on and she needs to improve," Tyzzer disclosed. "I won't tell you which ones because I would reveal too many secrets, but she still has room for improvement. What I think she does best of all is that she enjoys herself. She enjoys playing. For example, tonight we knew of the pitfalls Danielle Collins would bring.

"How do we beat a player who hits corners and kills you if you drop a short ball? For her, this is the best part. She likes to play and she likes these challenges. In other areas such as service, there isn't much work to be done, but in other areas there is.

"She needed to take a break after Wimbledon. We played a little more than expected. She was exhausted. She is very tired mentally. She worked hard to win at Wimbledon and put a lot of pressure on herself to get to the US Open, but she struggled there."

Furthermore, Tyzzer added that Barty's major improvement from the previous season was her ability to adapt to different players and playing conditions.

"She didn't make sense to play the end of the season." he said. "That's why I told her to drop everything, go to the preseason and wait for the Australian summer. That victory in Paris, at the Roland Garros, was unexpected. Her level was nowhere near comparable to her current level.

"I think her consistency, her ability to play and adapt to different players, even today, in different conditions, was her great improvement. She is a much better tennis player than she was in 2019. I think she is now a better player on hard courts."
