The Australian superstar was the No1 tennis player in the world and reigned at the All England Club in 2021.

But Ash Barty, 29, stunned the sporting world when she suddenly retired from tennis two months later at the top of the game. She has kept a low profile since, getting married to golfer Garry Kissick and welcoming the second of her two children last week, a daughter called Jordan. Now, though, after three years out of the public spotlight, Barty made a shock comeback.

Barty plays the role of Tasman Town's newest resident after buying a fixer-upper crumbling old house in the countryside. She then calls in a load of 'tradies' to get the pad in shape - with Australian sporting heroes including Erin Phillips, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan, Jason Gillespie, Buddy Franklin, Alexander Volkanovski, Dylan Alcott and Pat Rafter all arriving on site in their Kia Tasmans. Two-time Wimbledon finalist Rafter - naturally - is in charge of the turf with his company 'Best On Grass'. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But when they spot the roof is in need of repairs, recently-retired Nadal is called in, having been sponsored by Kia for many years. And the Spaniard - dubbed Rafa's Roofs - hilariously picked up the video call on his phone and left Australians in stitches with his cameo and response. Carlos Alcaraz parties in Ibiza following French Open triumph Tennis stars' new careers PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring. But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best… I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B I was tipped for stardom aged 12 but retrained to become high-flying lawyer I earned £9m and won French Open before setting up bistro with Brazilian model girlfriend I'm last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I'm singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts I'm former world No1 but quit aged 29 - instead I went on to play professional poker and golf I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist He said: "I am flat out." Then leaning in towards the camera, he asked: "Is it a cashie?" - Aussie slang for an under-the-table cash-in-hand job. Like Nadal, Barty won the French Open - albeit just the once in 2019. That came just two years after she returned to tennis' majors following a two-year absence from the biggest tournaments as she took a break from the sport - and even played semi-pro cricket. Since hanging up her racquet for good, the Queensland queen has even played in pro golf tournaments as well as having her two children. Barty was a pundit for the BBC at Wimbledon last year and proved a popular addition - but the timing of Jordan's recent arrival may rule her out of 2025's tournament. 7 Barty retired from tennis three years ago Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 In the commercial she buys a fixer-upper house Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 The tradies arrive in their new Kia Tasman trucks Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia

2025 Kia Tasman drive-away pricing detailed
After detailing recommended retail prices for its first ute in April, Kia has now published a list of drive-away prices for the all-new dual-cab range. The 2025 Kia Tasman lineup will open at $42,990 before on-road costs or $46,490 drive-away for the entry-level S 4×2 dual-cab pickup. The range tops out at $77,990 drive-away for the X-Pro 4×4. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Thus far, Kia has only published pricing for the dual-cab pickup, which will be the only body style available when customer deliveries begin in July. Dual-cab/chassis variants will follow in August, followed by single-cab/chassis versions in late 2025. Pricing, either with or without on-road costs, has yet to be announced for these derivatives. Compared to the most affordable single-turbo, dual-cab 4×2 pickup version of the top-selling Ford Ranger, the base dual-cab 4×2 Tasman pickup is more affordable. Based on a New South Wales post code, the Ranger XL Double Cab 4×2 pickup costs $49,734 drive-away. Likewise, the Toyota HiLux WorkMate 4×2 Hi-Rider dual-cab pickup is more expensive than the base Tasman at $49,988 drive-away in NSW, though you can get the popular ute with petrol power and a lower ride height for less than the base Tasman. However, a Ranger Wildtrak Double Cab 4×4 pickup with the 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine is priced at $76,883 drive-away, which makes it more affordable than the flagship Tasman X-Pro. A Toyota HiLux Rogue can be had for $77,499 drive-away, also undercutting the top Tasman. You can also get a Ranger Sport with the optional turbo-diesel V6 for around $600 more in NSW than a four-cylinder Tasman X-Pro. There's only one other Korean ute available in Australia, the KGM Musso. Available only with four-wheel drive and a dual-cab pickup body style, the Musso is priced from $38,000 to $46,500 drive-away. All Tasmans are powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 154kW of power and 440Nm of torque, mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Why NBA champion chose WA's South West as his escape
When you're seven feet tall like former Chicago Bulls star Luc Longley, poking at those hard-to-reach places around the house doesn't often require a ladder. The three-time NBA champion — now based in Perth — has joined a host of recognisable Aussie sports personalities to star in the latest Kia Tasman ad premiering tonight during State of Origin in Perth. Lacking the nimbleness of co-stars Ash Barty or former AFL gun Dane Swan, Longley is tasked with getting 'in the paint' as the famous figures give a run-down property some love. Even Spanish tennis icon Rafael Nadal, who's no stranger to clay, offers to get his hands dirty. Dane Swan joins the party at Ash Barty's Kia Tasman-inspired home reno. Credit: Enthral Unfortunately, Longley suggests, raking in rebounds and providing assists to former teammate Michael Jordan came a little more naturally than getting hands-on at home ever has. Actually, it depends who you ask. 'It's funny, because my wife would say I'm really handy — my friends would say that I'm not,' he told The West Australian. 'I believe in horses for courses. If you want a job done right, you get a professional but I can turn my hand to anything, just probably do it badly, except, obviously for painting, because Ash (Barty) got the best.' Relocating to Perth in the last couple of years with wife and celebrity chef Anna Gare, Longley spent decades escaping the bright lights of the court and stresses of life in WA's tranquil South West region. Elephant Rocks, William Bay National Park. Credit: Beau Jones @beahjones (Instagram) In 1991, the 56-year-old purchased a property 15 minutes outside of Denmark upon turning professional. 'It was the first thing I bought with my professional basketball money. And I always wanted to have a sanctuary,' he said. Claiming the town was 'much sleepier back then', the HoopsFest ambassador was attracted to the natural landscapes and close proximity to the ocean. He even hosted fellow Sydney Kings co-owner Andrew Bogut, a fellow NBA champion, at his property recently as the pair took a dip in the majestic waters. But Longley wouldn't divulge all of his favourite hideaways. 'Secret spots aren't for giving up, but Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Madfish Bay, that whole chain of coast along there is for exploring, for sure,' he said. Andrew Bogut has represented Australia at the Olympics. Credit: METHODE / METHODE Longley admitted the pair don't always see 'eye-to-eye', but respect what the other has achieved as two of the premier seven-foot exports to find success in the NBA. As to who would win a one-on-one if each were in their prime, Longley is as curious to find out as the next Aussie basketball fan. 'I'd love to get in that time machine. Have a go at it,' he teased. 'I mean, he was quicker than me, which he'll happily tell you, so I probably would have had trouble with him in the in the full court, but I'd handle him in the half court. No worries.'
