The children of tennis legends are emerging as stars in their own right. This time around, it is none other than Australia’s former WTA star Ashleigh Barty‘s cute toddler. Although a toddler, Barty’s kid Hayden has gained significant popularity due to his famous mother. However, this is not his first public appearance in the media. This toddler has already been practicing his vision in tennis with his mom as he attended the Brisbane International this season. A “familiar face” is yet again here to inspire “the next generation”.

Although Ashleigh Barty left professional tennis career, she couldn’t leave the stadium altogether. After her motherhood, Barty seems dedicated to introducing the world of tennis to her son. On the same lines, “beautiful boy” accompanied her mother to the Billie Jean King Cup recently.

The official X (formerly Twitter) profile of the Billie Jean King Cup recently shared a clip from Australia’s match against Mexico at the tournament. However, in this clip, more than the match, Barty’s presence at the stands was highlighted. Sharing this clip, this page tweeted- “A familiar face in the stands Inspiring the next generation.” The clip stormed social media with fans pouring their best wishes for Barty and her beautiful son.

Barty may not balance motherhood and tennis like Naomi Osaka, she tries to bring Hayden to tennis matches to expose him to the sport early. The Tennis TV previously captured the adorable mother-son duo from the stand and wrote– “Tennis royalty in the house @ashbarty enjoying the show in Brisbane #BrisbaneInternational.” 

Barty’s Brisbane International presence also received significant love and best wishes from her fans. It seemed as if after her retirement in 2022, her fans were dying to see her once again.
