Serving up fun with Ash Barty

Serving up fun with Ash Barty

Ash Barty is a tennis icon and also is the creator of TWO book series, including the brand new Tennis Camp Diaries. We chat to Ash about tennis and books!

Hi Ash! What inspired your new series Tennis Camp Diaries, and how is it different from your Little Ash series? 

A: Ash is a little bit older in this series and ready for new adventures. The books are inspired by stories and experiences I had as a kid, with a few twists and turns. One big difference with this series is the format of the books – it is written as a diary which I love. My niece Lucy is eight years old now and absolutely loves diary style books - so far she has given me good feedback! 

Aww! What were your favourite stories or books as a kid? 

A: I loved reading when I was young, my sisters and I always had a book in our hands. Morris Gleitzman’s books, especially the Once series, were my favourite. I also loved the Hairy Maclary series and The Rainbow Serpent.

What advice would you give to TGs who might be feeling stressed by an upcoming test or competition? 

A: Tennis is a game and should be fun! Make sure you are always enjoying it, regardless of the result.

Who would you like to team up with for a fun Doubles match? 

A: I can’t go past my good friend and long-time doubles partner Casey Dellacqua. We have so much fun on the court, she is always my first choice.
