This is certainly the year for Aussie tennis superstar Ashleigh Barty.
The 23-year-old from Ipswich, Queensland, has just been crowned Australian Sportswoman of the Year.
Speaking to Sunrise after getting the incredible award, Ash said: "It's changed my life in a lot of ways, but it hasn't changed the way that my team and I prepare, train and try and do the little things right, but there is certainly more recognition.
"If I can inspire one young girl or young boy, I feel that would be the most incredible thing in my life.
