Former Wimbledon champion, 29, resurfaces in viral ad with Rafael Nadal three years after bombshell retirement
A FORMER Wimbledon champion resurfaced in a viral ad alongside Rafael Nadal. The Australian superstar was the No1 tennis player in the world and reigned at the All England Club in 2021. 7 7 7 She then followed it up by winning her home Grand Slam in January 2022. 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. She stars in a hilarious 90-second commercial for car manufacturer Kia to promote their new pick-up truck, the Kia Tasman. 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'. 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. 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 7 7 7

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.
