"There aren't many Australians in the Top 100 and that's something we're working on": Barty talked about the WTA Tour

Former world number one Ashleigh Barty believes that it is hard to keep a place in the top-10 which is why there are not many Australians in there.
The 27-year-old is a woman of many talents as she has not only played tennis at the highest level but has also played cricket for the Big Bash League franchise Brisbane Heat Women.
Barty, who ended her career after winning three Grand Slams in her career, was quoted in a report where she stated the difficulties in maintaining a spot in the top 10.
"There aren't many Australians in the Top 100 and that's something we're working on,” she said. “To stay at the top you always have to play at your level higher, you must have continuity for 52 weeks with a specific program and only then can you maintain your position at the top.
“I think it's very exciting for women's tennis, all this creates hunger, passion and motivation in all the tennis players who want to be the best and aim to become number one.
There are many young people who are working, even in Australia, and want to grow and develop their game."
The Queensland-born also suggested that she is trying to understand the point of view of former world number one Iga Swiatek who stated that it was hard for her to compete at the end of the season.
"It takes time to understand how they fit in and how it is possible to grow with their game,” she said. " I'm excited to follow my countrywomen, and other tennis players too, and I want to see where they can be in five or ten years.
“The game has adapted to modernity and developed. Compared to the past, the Top-10 is more competitive and they are all great tennis players. Women are different game mixes and always manage to surprise."
