Ashleigh Barty (born 24 April 1996 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian tennis player who is currently the number 2 ranked junior in the world.

2011

Barty won the Junior Wimbledon Championships in July, beating Irina Khromacheva in the final. In December, 2011, she competed with other Australian players for a Wildcard berth into the main draw of the 2012 Australian Open, and despite being the youngest player in the draw, won the competition and the Wildcard, beating established players including Casey Dellacqua, Arina Rodionova and Olivia Rogowska in the process.

2012

Due to her strong results at the end of last year, Barty received a wildcard into the qualifying event of the Brisbane International (a WTA Premier tournament). There she lost in the first round to number one seed Vania King 1-6 2-6. Partnered with Casey Dellacqua, Barty also received a wildcard into the doubles tournament, reaching the semi-finals before bowing out to the American pairing of Spears and Kops-Jones 7-5 6-7(3) [7-10]. Barty then received a wildcard into the Hobart International, losing in the first round to Bethanie Mattek-Sands 2-6 2-6. Due to winning the Australian Wild Card playoff last year Barty was entered into the women's singles at the Australian Open, where she lost 2-6 6-7(4) to Anna Tatishvili in the first round. She also entered the women's and mixed doubles, pairing up with fellow junior prodigy Laura Robson and Benjamin Mitchell respectively. Barty and her respective partners failed to make it past the first round in either event. In February, Barty won her first senior title at the Sydney $25,000 ITF tournament, beating countrywoman Olivia Rogowska in the final. The following week she won her second straight ITF title at the Mildura Grand International.
