Ashleigh Barty (born 24 April 1996) is an Australian professional tennis player and cricketer. Barty first gained media attention by reaching the doubles final of the 2013 Australian Open, partnered by Casey Dellacqua. The pair also reached the finals of both Wimbledon and the US Open in 2013, making Barty one of the most successful WTA debutants in history. She also won the 2011 Wimbledon girls singles title and has won two WTA doubles titles so far in her career. In September 2014, she took a break from tennis and switched to cricket in 2015, earning a contract with the Brisbane Heat for the inaugural Women's Big Bash League. In February 2016 she resumed her career in tennis.

Barty was born and raised in Ipswich, Queensland to an Indigenous Australian father,(Ngarigo) Robert and a second generation English mother, Josie. She has two older sisters, Ali and Sara. She is a keen supporter of the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League.

Playing her first singles events on the ITF junior tour in 2009, she reached the second round at the Waikato Bays ITF and the New Zealand 18 & Under Indoor Championships. Barty had a successful year on the tour in 2010 where she reached the final of her next five tournaments she played in. These included the Australian International Grade 4, Gallipoli Youth Tennis Cup, Queensland Junior ITF International 1, 2010 Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Final and the Yonex LTAT- ITF Junior Grade 2 where she didn't lose a set through qualifying and maindraw. This gave her a record of 30 wins to one loss before losing in the second round of the Seogwipo Asian/Oceania Closed Championships. Barty started 2011 by reaching the second round of the Loy Yang Traralgon International and losing in the first round of her first grand slam match at the 2011 Australian Open to third seed Lauren Davis.
