Would Ash Barty have won multiple grand slams?

Ash Barty likely would have won more Grand Slams, as many experts believe she was peaking and had the potential for a "double-digit" number of singles titles given her dominant world No. 1 status at just 25 years old when she retired. She retired as a three-time Grand Slam singles champion, having won the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open, and there was strong anticipation for her to achieve much more in her career, with some comparing her potential to that of Roger Federer.


Why she was expected to win more:
  • Dominant Form:
    At the time of her retirement, Barty was still at the peak of her game, holding the No. 1 ranking and having already won multiple Grand Slam singles titles.

  • All-Surface Success:
    She was one of the few players to have won Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces—clay, grass, and hard courts—demonstrating her versatility and dominance across different playing conditions.

  • Expert Opinions:
    Tennis analysts, including former players and coaches, expressed that Barty was in a position to win many more major titles had she continued her career.
What she accomplished:
  • 3 Grand Slam Singles Titles: Barty won the French Open (2019), Wimbledon (2021), and the Australian Open (2022).

  • Grand Slam Doubles Title: She also won a Grand Slam doubles title.

  • World No. 1: Barty spent considerable time as the world No. 1.
She was winning the head-to-head with Sabalenka and can play on all surfaces. You don't often see athletes retiring at their peak.

To add to that mate her game strategy was unique, she confused the opposition with her change up from pace to slice a lot lost to her because of this, the accuracy on her slice was out of this world.

The whole of Australia was probably surprised with her early retirement, she could have gone on to win many more titles for another say 8 years, so disappointing.
