Ashleigh Barty took things easy after Paris
After the debacle in Paris, Barty did not have high expectations. The Australian player was unaware of how the body would act after the injury. She wanted to take things slowly, concentrate on getting through the initial rounds and then take it from there.?
The former Australian player and current coach further added, “We?ve had a bit of an unknown at the start of the tournament, not knowing how her body would hold up after all the rehab and all the work. It was sort of, ?Okay, if she can get through a couple of these first couple of rounds, then we might be in the right place.'”
