Barty set to return

Ashleigh Barty is set to return to the tennis court for something other than practice for the first time in 11 months. The world No. 1-ranked Barty yesterday said she’ll play in a one-day exhibition event in Adelaide on January 29 which includes Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep. Called “A Day at the Drive,” the exhibition at Memorial Drive also features four of the top men’s players, with the field playing two singles matches. The men’s lineup includes Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Barty, who won the 2019 French Open title and reached the Australian Open semifinals last year, hasn’t played a competitive match since she was a semifinalist at the Qatar Open in February.
