World No.1 Ashleigh Barty recently defeated her counterpart Daria Gavrilova in the second round of the Australian Open 2021. Barty didn’t lose a single set and even survived a tough tie-breaker in the second set.

In the post-match interview, Ashleigh Barty spoke about her second set hiccup, her big bandage, and about her fans and their importance to her.

All this fascinated the former World No.1 player Andy Roddick. Barty certainly left a mark with her performance on the tennis legend, and he showed his love for Barty on Twitter.

“I like Ashleigh Barty…. don’t know her at all,” tweeted the former American player.
