Aussie Tennis Star Ashleigh Barty’s Sponsors

For Ashleigh Barty, coming from Australia, a country with less than 25 million people has many advantages and disadvantages.  Because of the Australian Open, Australia looms large on the tennis calendar at the beginning of the season.   But the country has also produced some eccentric characters – Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios in recent years.

Ashleigh Barty hit the sweet spot at the right time.  No big-name sponsors want to be associated with Tomic or Kyrgios, Barty is a safe choice and can drive a brand’s success with her success on the court.

As gifted as she is, Barty was burned out in 2014 and left tennis to play cricket.  By then she had reached two grand slam double semi-finals with her compatriot Casey Dellacqua.  The two-year hiatus gave her a break and proper perspective she needed to come back to tennis.   Not long after her return, she began to have success in both singles and doubles.
