"2023 set to be the best year yet. We are so excited for our new adventure. Origi already the protective big sister," Barty wrote on Instagram.

The 26-year-old announced her retirement in March last year, two months after winning her third Slam title, at the Australian Open. The title, which ended a 44-year drought for a home-grown singles champion in Melbourne, added to Barty's previous two major wins at 2019 Roland Garros and 2021 Wimbledon.
