Many tennis fans were left in shock after Barty had lost in the third-round against Shelby Rogers. Tyzzer defended that Barty is currently physically and mentally exhausted. Even if this is a major blow to her career, still Tyzzer didn’t take the blame on Barty.
During the US Open, people had been expecting Barty to clinch her 5th major title this year. The weather condition at the Flushing Meadows, caused them to change Barty’s racket strings before playing Rogers.
Tyzzer made an analysis that women’s ball is lighter compared to men, so when the ball got older, their shots would go faster. During the first two rounds of the US Open, he had seen Barty struggled with the ball already, because it was difficult to control to keep the ball in the court. So he made a major decision to change the racket string instead.
Even if Barty might have failed to clinch the US Open title, still Tyzzer commended her performance and took full responsibility for her loss because he decided to change the racket strings.
Meanwhile, Barty is not yet fully decided if she can join the WTA Finals that will be held in Mexico. Barty and her team might be announcing their decision this weekend if Barty will pursue the WTA Finals or she wants to go back to Australia for a holiday rest.
