Australian tennis player Ashleigh Barty has cinched the top spot in the world tennis rankings after beating Germany’s Julia Grges 6-3, 7-5, in Sunday’s final of the Nature Valley Classic in Birmingham.

The 23-year-old Indigenous Australian from Queensland now becomes the third Australian woman in history to hold the number one ranking in the world in singles by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), following in the footsteps of Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Margaret Court.

Japan’s Naomi Osaka previously held the top spot but was struck down in the second round in Birmingham.

“It’s been the most incredible journey for me and my team,” Barty said on the court after her win, according to 10 Daily .
