2020 has been a terrible year for Australia due to the bush fires, the floods, and the coronavirus pandemic. During such difficult times, a teacher in New South Wales helped her students get through it by citing Ashleigh Barty as an example.

To thank her teacher, a student wrote a letter to Barty asking her to do a video call. The World No. 1 was touched when she read the letter, which is why she did something better – she went down to visit the school.

The teacher was thrilled to meet her and so were her students. They went on to play some tennis with her and they surely enjoyed it. It was a day that they will definitely never forget.
