Ash Barty..

A great champion and appears to be a wonderfull person

At 25 she has done all in tennis that she wanted to, she is still able to accomplish many things in her life

Not the first Australian sport star to retire at 25 on their own accord (not from injury)

Mark Ella Wallaby

Michael Peterson World Surfing Champion

Probably more that I can't think of
 
She loves Aussie Rules more than RL. She might give that a go, part-time gig, not much stress. She'd carve up that comp too probably.

I believe she is a Tigers fan both in Afl and Nrl possibly more to do with the animal than anything else if you apply that logic. Im sure i read it somewhere though.

 
She is a multi tournament champion.
She is Australia’s darling.
She is currently on top.
She is also 25 and worth close to $50million.

Semi retirement is a great thing for any person to do. Working yourself into the ground is a mugs game. She can now enjoy her next 60 years or so of life without huge stress and struggles. She has skipped the constant injuries that happen to athletes as you get older. She can give back to the sport and help new generations come through. She can travel without being on a nutritional, training and workout schedule. She can explore other passions in her life.
I envy her position and congratulate her decision. Bravo!
