After landing squarely in the top 50, we discovered one of the great revelations of 2025: promising to be the best Indonesian in history... with an atypical, cerebral, and varied style of tennis.
Ashleigh Barty
Three years before conquering Wimbledon, the Australian had an experience in London that marked her forever. A defeat against the toughest rival: herself.
I'm sorry for getting you excited for a second, I swear it was not my intention, but the headline is indeed true. Ashleigh Barty, retired for three years now, appeared on the list of players who will compete in the upcoming WTA 500 in Charleston 2025 this afternoon. And how is this possible? Very simple: due to a mistake. The organization itself had to come out minutes later to apologize and explain that it was just that, a technological error. I wish it had been true, although as we explained here a few days ago, the story goes that the Australian will never compete again on the professional circuit.
Looks like our new website got a little too excited and accidentally listed Ashleigh Barty as a wildcard recipient. We promise the only surprises moving forward will be on the court! 🎾

Ashleigh Barty, three-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one, gives an interview where she talks about her current life.
While Aryna Sabalenka enjoys dominating her rivals at Wimbledon 2025, she also takes the time to explain who has been the smartest opponent she has faced in her career: "I don't think it's someone I've played against, but certainly talking a lot with Novak Djokovic, he definitely has a lot of knowledge of the game. He has helped me a lot several times. Every time I speak with him, it helps me a lot. But who have I played against? I think Ashleigh Barty was always very clever and understood the game very well. Yes, I think she was the smartest," stated the world number one.

The former world number one confesses what she thought of the Spaniard's farewell, as well as revealing what her retirement plans were.
Iga Swiatek is only 23 years old, but she seems destined to make history. With over a decade of tennis ahead of her, the Polish player is already approaching historic records and continues to build tremendous dominance at the top of the WTA ranking: today, she completes 122 weeks as number one, becoming the seventh player in history to have spent the most time at the top. Iga has just surpassed Ashleigh Barty, from whom she took over, and aims to approach her next target, Monica Seles (178 weeks). The leader remains practically unreachable, though: Steffi Graf with 377 weeks at the top.

It may seem like just another Monday for Iga Swiatek, the woman who has been ruling the women's circuit since April 2022. But no, this date marks the 121st week of the Polish player as the world No. 1, thus matching the particular record set by the previous queen, Ashleigh Barty. What does this mean? To highlight the wildest fact, it means that Swiatek is 23 years old and there are now only six women in tennis history who have spent more time than her at the top of the rankings. We will see if Aryna Sabalenka soon joins the discussion because otherwise, we will soon see Iga close to making the next surpass, in this case, the 178 weeks of Monica Seles.
