Serena Williams stopped Ashleigh Barty from retiring with one simple text message
Serena Williams may be one of the fiercest competitors in the history of sports, but that doesn’t mean she won’t help out a fellow player. After losing in the opening round of the 2014 US Open, 18-year-old Ashleigh Barty announced that she was taking “a break from professional tennis” before pursuing a career in cricket.“It was too much too quickly for me as I’ve been travelling from quite a young age,” she said of her decision at the time. “I wanted to experience life as a normal teenaged girl and have some normal experiences.”But, after just one successful season, Barty made her return to tennis in early 2016.
