Konrad Marshall's December 2017 cover story 'Second serve' profiled women’s No. 1 tennis player Ashleigh Barty, who’d returned to the game in 2016 after a three year break in the wake of burn out and depression. Konrad is joined in conversation by The Age sports editor Chloe Saltau and sports writer Scott Spits to discuss the effects of mental health on professional athletes, Barty as a role model for young Indigenous athletes, and her chances at the 2021 Australian Open. 

Discussion starts at 24:00.
