Reason For Hiatus From Tennis For around 17 Months 

Around September 2014, the tennis player took a break from the tennis world. She was out of the scene for 17 months as she only got back in February 2016. But why did she take a break?

During her hiatus, she transitioned to semi-professional cricket, one of the games she wanted to make a career of. Was it because of this that she took a break from tennis?  

Though at first, the player remained silent, she eventually stated that she needed some time to refresh mentally. 

It became a bit of a slog for me and I wasn't enjoying my tennis as much as I would have liked to. 

Barty never had retirement in her mind, and so she used to play the game casually. She practiced tennis every day though she was taking a break.   

While on her break, she opted towards fishing, cricket, and even built a house close to her family. Ultimately, she came back to the sport she loved the most, tennis. 

After a break and trying other things, I missed tennis and decided that I wanted to come back. 

Well, she did come back to the sport and, in recent years, conquered the whole world with her skills.
