Ash Barty’s New Summer Style Is Serving Tenniscore Chic

“I’ll always be a magpie at heart”

The Australian summer of tennis is here and it’s serving looks all over our socials. There’s an elegance about tennis and when it comes to finesse, Australian sports star and Grand Slam winner Ash Barty is often the first player to come to mind.

Ash held the position of number one in the world for an astounding 114 consecutive weeks before announcing her retirement from the game in 2022 with three Grand Slam singles titles to her name.

While she may have hung up her racquet on the pro tour, Ash certainly hasn’t slowed down. In 2024 she returned to Wimbledon to play in the Invitation Doubles with Nick Kyrgios, and is now working on various tennis-related projects along with raising her family, establishing her own foundation, writing a series of children’s books and collaborating with her longstanding watch partners, Rado Switzerland.

An Enduring Collaboration Continues

Luxurious watches and tennis go hand in hand, so the collaboration between Rado and Ash is a natural fit. With gently rounded contours, ultramodern movements and luxurious detail, the new Rado Centrix collection embodies the quiet elegance Ash is famous for on court. In particular, the Centrix Open Heart wristwatch is the perfect timepiece for both summer and the tennis season.

Sophisticated Styling Meets Swiss Precision

“This white Centrix Open Heart is one of my favourite watches,” Ash says. “It’s light, it’s smooth and so elegant.”

With 98 full cut diamonds on the dial, the Rado Centrix Automatic Diamonds Open Heart is made from durable, lightweight high-tech ceramic. The face is an elegant white mother of pearl dial on an open-heart timepiece that gives a sense of depth and dimension, featuring a circular grain decoration.

The bracelet is made of polished rose-gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel with white high-tech ceramic middle links that are as strong as they are beautiful, matched perfectly to the timepiece’s face and hands. The Super Jubilé version’s sparkling stream of diamonds is designed as the ultimate statement of sophistication and finesse, a detail Ash adores.
