Ashleigh Barty is nominated for the Newcombe Award for the 4th time and she feels honoured to be nominated.
The nomination is a significant one as Barty has a chance to win the award for a record 4th time. Nobody ever won it four times before but if Barty wins it this year it will be a new record. Obviously, the nomination means a lot to Barty who reacted to it by saying how honoured she feels:
“I feel honoured to be nominated. I’m proud of the year my team and I have had and the work we put in. To be recognised by the Australian tennis community with this nomination is special”.
The nomination comes after Barty had a career year winning several big trophies including the Wimbledon which is the biggest triumph of her career. It was a longtime dream of hers as well so it was a brilliant day for Barty and Australian tennis in general. Speaking to tennis Australia she admitted that ending the season early did her good and she felt rested.
“I did feel rested until preseason started a few weeks ago. This week I'm tired. I’ve been working hard on and off the court, doing everything I possibly can to get ready for January. The first few weeks of preseason are always tough physically."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
