ASH BACK ON COURT: HER SECRET DOUBLES COMEBACK!

Looking match fit and beaming from ear to ear, it seems tennis legend and new mum Ash Barty, who turned 27 in April, may well be "keeping mum" when it comes to what's next for her, both on and off the court!

Spotted recently with Aussie surfing sensation Steph Gilmore at a tennis and surfing clinic for school children in Northern NSW, it seems the two former world No. 1 superstars were a real hit with the kids and Ash talked passionately about her love of the game.

And as mounting speculation around a possible comeback continues to bubble away, a well-placed source reveals there are plenty of reasons to think that the three-time grand slam champ is not quite done yet!

"It's been very telling over the past few months, especially after she and husband Garry [Kissick] welcomed little Hayden in early July, that Ash has made sure she's keeping her foot in the tennis world," a source tells Woman's Day.

"From being front and centre when they announced her hometown event the Brisbane International would be returning at the end of this year, and her ongoing support of the Australian Open, along with these regular tennis clinics she's involved with at the grassroots level - by the looks of it, there's a very real chance she could go around one more time!"
