‘It’s refreshing because you often see mismatched liaisons in this sport,’ a friend told Woman’s Day.

‘It’s funny to watch Ash practising at the big tournaments with her coach and see Garry pop up as the ball boy. He’ll skip back and forth, helping out between their rallies, encouraging her by passing on cricket scores or cracking jokes.

‘Without even meaning to, Garry helps Ash play her very best tennis, because there’s certainly no pressure from him.’ 

 Wow! In July, Ash emulated Australian tennis icon Pat Cash after her Wimbledon win by clambering up the grand stand to kiss her boyfriend

 Up she goes: Impersonating Cash’s climb into the player’s box after his 1987 win, Barty raced into the grandstand and jumped onto a railing

 So cute! She then flung herself into boyfriend Garry’s arms. The Australian tennis ace was named the new champion after beating world 13 Karolina Pliskova 

In July, Ash emulated Australian tennis icon Pat Cash after her Wimbledon win by clambering up the grand stand to kiss her boyfriend Garry. 

The Australian tennis ace was named the new champion after beating world 13 Karolina Pliskova in an epic three-set final at the All England Club. 

Impersonating Cash’s climb into the player’s box after his 1987 win, Barty raced into the grandstand and jumped onto a railing in a bid to reach her supporters – before realising an easy-access gate had been put in place to stop a similar stunt. 

Score! The victory made her the third Australian woman to win the grand slam, and the first to do so in 41 years after her idol Evonne Goolagong last secured the title in 1980. Pictured: Barty poses with the trophy during the awarding ceremony for the women’s singles final

After reaching her team, Barty first hugged her physio Mel Omizzolo before walking over to her partner Gary for an emotional embrace.

Barty hailed her Wimbledon triumph as ‘nothing short of a miracle’ after overcoming serious injury to complete her dream of lifting the biggest title in tennis.
