"2023 set to be the best year yet. We are so excited for our new adventure. Origi already the protective big sister," Barty wrote on Instagram.

The 26-year-old announced her retirement in March last year, two months after winning her third Slam title, at the Australian Open. The title, which ended a 44-year drought for a home-grown singles champion in Melbourne, added to Barty's previous two major wins at 2019 Roland Garros and 2021 Wimbledon.

The 26-year-old retired in March of last year, just two months after winning her third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. The title, which ended a 44-year drought for a home-grown singles champion in Melbourne, was added to Barty's previous two major victories at Roland Garros in 2019 and Wimbledon in 2021.

Barty stopped by the United Cup in Brisbane earlier this week to say hello to her good friend Iga Swiatek, who took over the No.1 torch after the Australian retired. (ANI)
