 Ashleigh Birdy, an ambassador for Rado, is gaining more and more attention. In an interview with ABC News in the US last year, she said, "I want to become a champion here one day. That's my dream." That dream came true on Saturday, July 10th, when Ashleigh Birdy defeated Karolina Pliskova in the final of the Wimbledon Championships, the most prestigious Grand Slam tournament.

According to Ashley's childhood coach, she first picked up a racket at age four and hit the first ball his coach threw right behind him. At 15, she was a Junior Wimbledon champion and by 17, a three-time Grand Slam doubles finalist. At 21, Ashley became Australia's highest-ranked player and, at just 23, reached world number one. In addition to her 12 singles titles, Ashley has also won 11 doubles titles with various partners. Now 25, she is recognized as one of the WTA's most dynamic and talented players.

 The 2021 season has been a fantastic one for Australian tennis star Ashley, including her latest achievement. Ranked world number one in the WTA singles rankings, she has added three more singles titles to her impressive individual record since June 2019. After winning the Yarra Valley Classic in Melbourne in February, she claimed the Miami Open (WTA 1000) title in March and won both the singles and doubles titles at the Porsche Grand Prix Cup in Stuttgart. With her second Grand Slam title (after the 2019 French Open), she solidified her number one status.
