Hardback. Condition: Very Good. It's a tennis story. It's a family story. It's a teamwork story. It's the story of how I got to where and who I am today. I'm only in my mid-twenties, and some might think that's young to write a memoir. Who does that, right? But for me and my team it's always been important to reflect on every part of the journey, especially the end. In that context, the timing is perfect to share my story, from the first time I picked up a racquet as a 5-year-old girl to the night I packed up my tennis bag after winning the 2022 Australian Open. This book gives me a chance to look back at every moment of the 20 years in between, and to think carefully through the highs and lows, the work and the play, the smiles and the tears. My Dream Time is about finding the path to being the best I could be, not just as an athlete but as a person, and to consider the way those identities overlap and compete. We all have a professional and a personal self. How do you conquer nerves and anxiety? How do you deal with defeat, or pain? What drives you to succeed - and what happens when you do? The answers tell me so much, about bitter disappointments and also dreams realized--from injuries and obscurity and self-doubt to winning Wimbledon and ranking number 1 in the world. My story is about the power and joy of doing that thing you love and seeing where it can take you, about the importance of purpose - and perspective--in our lives.…

Echtfoto. Condition: Gut. A5 Foto von Ashleigh Barty bildseitig mit weißem Stift signiert, PRE-PRINT /// (Mehrere Exemplare von diesem Motiv vorrätig) /// Ashleigh ?Ash? Barty, AO (* 24. April 1996 in Ipswich, Queensland) ist eine ehemalige australische Tennis- und Cricketspielerin. Die größten Erfolge in ihrer Karriere waren der Gewinn der French Open 2019, der Wimbledon Championships 2021 und der Australian Open 2022. Am 24. Juni 2019 wurde sie erstmals die Nr. 1 der Weltrangliste. Bis zu ihrem Rücktritt im März 2022 führte Barty mit einer Unterbrechung von lediglich vier Wochen die Weltrangliste an. Barty gehört ethnisch durch ihre Urgroßmutter väterlicherseits zu den Ngarigo-Aborigines. Sie wurde von Tennisverband Tennis Australia zum National Indigenous Tennis Ambassador ernannt.[1][2] Sie begann im Jugendalter mit dem Tennissport. Bei ihrem erst zweiten ITF-Turnier in Mount Gambier im Oktober 2010 gelang Barty der Einzug ins Halbfinale. 2011 gewann sie den Juniorinnen-Wettbewerb in Wimbledon. Im selben Jahr erreichte sie bei den US Open das Halbfinale der Juniorinnen. Im Dezember erspielte sie sich eine Wildcard für die folgenden Australian Open. Anfang 2012 scheiterte Barty beim WTA-Turnier in Brisbane in der Qualifikation klar mit 1:6, 2:6 an Vania King. Auch in Hobart schied sie in der Qualifikation aus - 2:6, 2:6 gegen Bethanie Mattek-Sands. Bei den Australian Open verlor sie ihr Auftaktmatch gegen Anna Tatischwili. Im Februar und März gewann sie zwei ITF-Turniere in Serie, zunächst in Sydney, anschließend ohne Satzverlust in Mildura. Mitte März stand sie im Endspiel des Sandplatzturniers von Ipswich. Bei den French Open verlor sie, ausgestattet mit einer Wildcard, in Runde eins gegen die an Nummer vier gesetzte spätere Halbfinalistin Petra Kvitová. Beim WTA-Turnier in Brisbane stieß sie 2012 an der Seite ihrer Landsfrau Casey Dellacqua bis ins Halbfinale vor. Bei den Australian Open standen die beiden 2013 dann erstmals im Endspiel eines Grand-Slam-Turniers, in dem sie sich jedoch der topgesetzten Paarung Sara Errani/Roberta Vinci in drei Sätzen geschlagen geben mussten. Beim Rasenturnier in Birmingham gewannen sie ihren ersten gemeinsamen WTA-Titel, für Barty war es der erste Titel auf der WTA Tour überhaupt. In Wimbledon erreichten Barty und Dellacqua ebenfalls das Finale, sie unterlagen dort nach umkämpftem ersten Satz (Tiebreak) Hsieh Su-wei und Peng Shuai in zwei Sätzen. Nach den US Open im September 2014 nahm sich Ashleigh Barty eine Auszeit,[3] eine weitere folgte im Oktober 2015.[4] Sie ließ damals offen, wie lange die Auszeiten andauern würden. In dieser Zeit widmete sie sich professionell dem Cricket, einem Sport, den sie in ihrer Kindheit nicht ausübte und erst später erlernte. Zunächst absolvierte sie ein Spiel für Queensland in der Women?s National Cricket League, bevor sie für die Brisbane Heat in der Women?s Big Bash League (WBBL) antrat und für diese neun Spiele in einer Spielzeit absolvierte.[5][6] Der Teamsport und das Mannschaftsgefüge, erklärte sie rückblickend, hätten ihr sehr gutgetan.[7] Einige Wochen nach dem Ende ihrer ersten Cricket-Saison gab Barty ihre Rückkehr in den Tennissport bekannt.[8] Eigener Aussage zufolge hatte Casey Dellacqua sie zur Rückkehr zum Tennis bewegt: ?Sie hat mich in den Sport zurückgebracht. Und hat es mir gleichzeitig ermöglicht, mich zu entfalten und als Person zu wachsen.?[7] Barty gewann im Februar 2016 an der Seite ihrer Landsfrau Jessica Moore einen weiteren ITF-Titel. In dieser Saison und insbesondere in der Saison 2017 verbesserte sich ihre Leistung stets. So gewann sie in Kuala Lumpur die Titel im Einzel- und im Doppelwettbewerb. Ferner kam sie in Wuhan ins Finale. Sie besiegte mit Venus Williams in Cincinnati zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere eine Spielerin, die in den Top Ten der Weltrangliste stand. Aufgrund ihres Erfolges beendete sie die Saison unter den zwanzig besten Spielerinnen. Im September 2018 holte Barty bei den US Open im Doppel mit Coco Vandeweghe ihren ersten Grand-Slam-Titel. Im März 2019 gewann sie das Einzel der Miami Open. Damit konnte sie erstmals in ihrer Karriere ein Turnier der Wertung ?Premier Mandatory? gewinnen. Gleichzeitig zog Barty zum ersten Mal in die Top Ten der Einzel-Weltrangliste ein.[9] Im Jahr zuvor hatte sie das Turnier noch im Doppel zusammen mit Coco Vandeweghe gewonnen. Drei Monate darauf erreichte Barty bei den French Open ihr erstes Endspiel bei einem Grand-Slam-Turnier, welches sie in zwei Sätzen gegen Markéta Vondrou?ová gewann. Sie wurde zur ersten Australierin seit 2011, als Samantha Stosur die US Open gewinnen konnte, die bei einem Grand-Slam-Turnier triumphierte. Mit Bartys Turniersieg bei den Nature Valley Classic in Birmingham im Juni 2019 über Julia Görges übernahm sie zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere die Führung in der Weltrangliste. Sie ist die zweite Australierin überhaupt (nach Evonne Goolagong Cawley 1976), der dies gelang. Im Doppel-Ranking hielt sie zeitgleich die Position fünf in der Weltrangliste. Am Ende der Saison gewann Barty zum ersten Mal die WTA Championships in Shenzhen. Nach einem Zweisatzsieg im Finale gegen die Titelverteidigerin Elina Switolina beendete Barty die Spielzeit an der Spitze der Weltrangliste. Das Turnier brachte ihr beinahe vier Millionen Euro an Preisgeld ein, was der höchsten jemals ausgezahlten Prämie im Tennissport entsprach.[10] Im Januar 2020 wurde Barty ihrer Favoritenrolle als Weltranglistenerste beim Adelaide International gerecht als sie das Turnier mit einem Finalsieg gegen Dajana Jastremska gewann.[11] Bei den Australian Open 2020 gelangte Barty ins Halbfinale, wo sie gegen die spätere Siegerin Sofia Kenin in zwei Sätzen verlor.[12] Barty trat 2020 nur noch in Doha an, der Rest der Saison fiel wegen der COVID-19-Pandemie zunächst aus, bei den im zweiten Halbjahr 2020 ausgetragenen Turnieren verzichtete Barty dann freiwillig auf eine Teilnahme.[13] Aufgrund des eingefrorenen Ranglistensystems blieb Barty trotz der wenigen Turniere zum Jahresabschlus.…
