Barty is of Ngarigo Aboriginal ethnicity through her paternal great - grandmother . She has been named a National Indigenous Tennis Ambassador by Tennis Australia . She started playing tennis when she was a teenager. At her only second ITF tournament in Mount Gambier in October 2010, Barty made it into the semi-finals. In 2011 she won the junior women's competition at Wimbledon . That same year, she reached the junior semifinals at the US Open . In December she earned a wild card for the following Australian Open.

At the beginning of 2012, Barty failed at the WTA tournament in Brisbane in the qualification with 1:6, 2:6 at Vania King . Also in Hobart she was eliminated in the qualification – 2:6, 2:6 against Bethanie Mattek-Sands . At the Australian Open , she lost her opening match to Anna Tatishvili . In February and March she won two ITF tournaments in a row, first in Sydney , then without losing a set in Mildura . In mid-March she was in the final of the Ipswich clay court tournament . At the French Open , equipped with a wildcard, she lost in round one against the later seeded number four semi-finalist Petra Kvitová .

At the WTA tournament in Brisbane in 2012, she advanced to the semi-finals alongside her compatriot Casey Dellacqua . At the Australian Open in 2013, the two were in the final of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, in which they were beaten in three sets by the top seeded pairing Sara Errani / Roberta Vinci . At the grass tournament in Birmingham they won their first WTA title together, for Barty it was the first title on the WTA Tour ever. In Wimbledon, Barty and Dellacqua also reached the final, where they lost in two sets after a hard-fought first set (tiebreak) to Hsieh Su-wei and Peng Shuai .

After the US Open in September 2014, Ashleigh Barty took a break, followed by another in October 2015. At the time, she left open how long the breaks would last. During this time, she devoted herself professionally to cricket , a sport she did not play in her childhood and only learned later. First she completed one game for Queensland in the Women's National Cricket League before appearing for the Brisbane Heat in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), completing nine games in one season for those. The team sport and the team structure, she explained in retrospect, had done her a lot of good.

A few weeks after the end of her first cricket season, Barty announced her return to tennis. According to Casey Dellacqua, she made her return to tennis: "She brought me back to the sport. And at the same time has allowed me to develop and grow as a person.”. Barty won another ITF title alongside compatriot Jessica Moore in February 2016. After that, and especially in the 2017 season, she became more and more successful. She won both singles and doubles titles in Kuala Lumpur . She also reached the final in Wuhan . She defeated Venus Williams in Cincinnati for the first time in her career, a player who was in the top ten in the world rankings. Because of her success, she ended the season in the top twenty players.

In September 2018, Barty won her first Grand Slam title in doubles with Coco Vandeweghe at the US Open. In March 2019, she won the singles of the Miami Open . This is the first time in her career that she has won a Premier Mandatory tournament. At the same time, Barty moved into the top ten of the individual world rankings for the first time. The year before she had won the tournament in doubles together with Coco Vandeweghe. Three months later, Barty reached her first final in a Grand Slam tournament at the French Open , which she won in straight sets against Markéta Vondroušová . She became the first Australian since 2011 when Samantha Stosur won the US Open by triumphing at a Grand Slam tournament. She took the lead in the world rankings for the first time in her career with Barty's tournament victory at the Nature Valley Classic in Birmingham in June 2019 over Julia Görges . She is the second Australian ever (after Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1976) to do so. In the doubles ranking, she held fifth place in the world rankings at the same time. At the end of the season, Barty won the WTA Championships in Shenzhen for the first time. After a two-set win in the final against the defending champion Elina Switolina , Barty ended the season at the top of the world rankings. The tournament earned her almost four million euros in prize money, which was the highest prize ever paid out in tennis.

In January 2020, Barty lived up to her role as world number one favorite at the Adelaide International when she won the tournament by beating Dajana Jastremska in the final. At the 2020 Australian Open , Barty made it to the semifinals where she lost to eventual winner Sofia Kenin in straight sets. Barty only competed in the Qatar Total Open in 2020, the rest of the season was initially canceled due to the Covid 19 pandemic , and Barty then voluntarily decided not to take part in the tournaments held in the second half of 2020. Due to the frozen ranking system, Barty remained number one in the world despite the few tournaments at the end of the year.

2021 began for Barty with a triumph at the newly created Yarra Valley Classic for the season . Her attempt to win a Grand Slam title on home soil at the Australian Open fell through in the quarterfinals, losing to Karolína Muchová in three sets . Barty then took a break until the Miami Open , where she was able to defend her 2019 title. It was Barty's first appearance outside of her home country in over a year and her first-ever defense of the singles title. In April 2021, Barty won both the singles tournament and the doubles tournament alongside Jennifer Brady at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix . The last time Lindsay Davenport managed to win both tournaments in one year in Stuttgart was in 2001 . In July of that year, Barty won her second Grand Slam tournament in singles. After defeating Angelique Kerber in the semi-finals , Barty defeated Karolína Plíšková 6-3, 6-7 ⁴ and 6-3 in the final of the Wimbledon Championships . She was the first world number and seed to win the Wimbledon tournament since 2016. At the Olympic Games , Barty was eliminated in the first round in singles, in mixed she won the bronze medal together with John Peers . In August, she won the WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati , but was then eliminated in the third round of the US Open by Shelby Rogers . After that she didn't play any more games. On October 23, she announced that she was retiring from the season and also would not be competing in the WTA Finals in Guadalajara , for which she would have qualified as the No. 1 race. The reason she gave was exhaustion and the desire not to jeopardize the preparations for the Australian Open.

Barty won her third singles Grand Slam title at the 2022 Australian Open . She didn't drop a set during the tournament and won the final against the American Danielle Collins 6:3, 7:6. Barty is the first Australian since Chris O'Neil ( 1978 ) to win in Melbourne.

Barty made 19 appearances for Australia in the Fed Cup . She won seven of her eight doubles games and ten of her eleven singles (as of June 8, 2019).
