Retired Australian tennis star Ashleigh Barty and her husband Garry Kissick have welcomed their first child – a baby boy Haydon. The couple announced the wonderful news on Instagram with the caption,

“Welcome to the world, Hayden!”

Ashleigh Barty is a former world number 1 and a three-time grand slam champion. She announced her retirement from tennis last year at age 25. The news surprised a lot of fans as she was still young and was at the top of her game. She won 15 singles titles and 12 doubles titles in her career.

Many top players congratulated the couple on the baby’s birth. Australian Open congratulated her on the “Greatest triumph” and Wimbledon wondered whether Hayden will be a future Wimbledon champion.
