Our New French Open Champ Ash Barty Tells ‘How Love Saved Me!'

Everything changed for Ash when she fell in love with her ‘ball boy’!

- 

She calls him her “handsome boy” and he calls her “baby”, and together tennis star Ash Barty and her boyfriend of three years Garry Kissick are the envy of the tennis circuit because of the power of their love.

An over-the-moon Garry wasn’t at Roland-Garros in Paris to see Ash’s brilliant victory in person but posted a loving message on Instagram and last week jumped on a plane to fly to England to celebrate.

“Amazing! The puppies [Affie and Chino] and I are so proud of you baby! Many more to come,” he posted after her amazing straight sets victory over Czech player Marketa Vondrousova in the French Open.

The win rocketed her to number two in the world and also made Ash the first female winner of the Grand Slam tournament since Margaret Court in 1973.
