- World No 1 has a hit with local children, calling them ‘incredible athletes’
- Run of 110 consecutive weeks in top spot is fifth longest streak in history
Ash Barty has celebrated her 110th consecutive week as the tennis world’s No 1 by ticking a special place in her homeland off her bucket list. The Australianmay have travelled the world but only this week did she have the opportunity to visit Uluru for the first time.
Barty, who on Monday retained her place at the top of the WTA rankings, has spent the past few days learning more about her Indigenous roots in the red centre of Australia before a return to the tour at Indian Wells next week for the first time since claiming her maiden Australian Open title.
