Barty, Kyrgios led the Australian Olympic tennis team

Sydney: World number one Ashleigh Barty confirmed she would compete at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, handling a strong Australian tennis team for a strong match that included Firebrand Nick Kyrgios.
Barty’s announcement came only a day after the four-time gold medal Serena Williams revealed she would miss the match, which would also be without Spanish Rafael Nadal.
France Open Champion 2019 Barty, 25, said he intends to compete in both singles and doubles in the match.
“I’m proud,” he said after winning his first round match, Sat Wimbledon on Tuesday.
“I’m proud to be part of the Australian Olympic team.” It’s always my dream.
To be officially named extraordinary.
“Barty was the first Australian native to be chosen for the tennis – the sport was not on the Olympic program during his great mentor’s glory and role model Evonne Goolagong Cawley.” Yes, that is (the source of pride to become the first Australian native in the tennis team), “he said.” I know that we have a very good group, a large group, the original Australian athlete on our team (overall).
, “I know for me it is the first for tennis, but of course there are many Olympic athletes who have paved the way for me in the original sense, the type shows me there is a path, that it’s possible.” The Australian team consists of six men and five women, including former US Open Sam Stosur champion who will go to the fifth Olympics at the age of 37 years.
Alex de Minaur in the world, with Kyrgios volatile.
