Aussie tennis superstar Ash Barty has revealed she will be turning her attention to producing a series of children’s books. 
Despite her decision to step away from tennis for good, Barty has a huge 2022 ahead of her.
Last month, she revealed that she was hoping to get married to long-time partner Garry Kissick sometime this year.
The 25-year-old even won her first title since retiring from tennis at a local golf tournament in Brisbane last week.
It’s why her new career as an author has surprised some, despite Barty previously declaring interest in a book series project.
The Courier-Mail first reported Barty’s series will be titled ‘Little Ash’ and will be based on the three-time grand slam champion’s real life experiences on and off the tennis court.

The reigning Australian Open champion said she was inspired to get into book writing by her five year-old niece, Lucy.

Barty also plans to write a memoir of her career later this year.
