Following a win over Andrea Petkovic who retired hurt and a comprehensive loss to Ana Ivanovic, Barty scored the biggest victory of her career in Perth, defeating former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 6–0 6–3 in just 55 minutes.

"I can't believe it myself, I don't remember anything about it. This tops Wimbledon (she won the girls' tournament in 2011), this trumps everything. I'm just so happy with the way I played."

—Barty speaking on her win over Francesca Schiavone.[4]

Barty received a wildcard into the 2013 Moorilla Hobart International where she drew defending champion Mona Barthel.[5] After winning the first set, Barty only won one more game in the match.[6] In the doubles event, Barty partnered Bojana Bobusic and reached her second WTA doubles semi-final.

Barty at the 2013 US Open

Barty drew Slovakian 15th seed Dominika Cibulková in the first round of the 2013 Australian Open.[7] However, after a promising start to the match by taking the opening set, she lost the next two sets with the win of just one game.[8] In the doubles event, Barty partnered countrywoman Casey Dellacqua. They opened the tournament by cruising past Francesca Schiavone and Polona Hercog in straight sets. This win was Barty's first ever Grand Slam victory. They then stuned the third seeded team of Maria Kirilenko and Lisa Raymond and 14th seeded team of Natalie Grandin and Vladimira Uhlirova en route to the Quarterfinals. The duo then reached the semi-final by defeating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Lucie Safarova. Their semi-final was played on Rod Laver Arena, which was Barty's first match on the court. Barty and Dellacqua made the final by defeating Saisai Zheng and Varvara Lepchenko in two sets and became the first Australian duo to reach the women's doubles final of the Australian open since 1977.[9] They played top seeds Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci in the final. They dropped the opening set 6–2 in just 29 minutes. But gained composure in the second to take it 6–3. The Italians won the third set and the match. Errani and Vinci took home the title after being defeated the previous year.[10]

Barty then reached the quarterfinal by defeating qualifier Zarina Diyas.[11] She lost to world number 29 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinal.[12]

Barty then travelled to USA playing a series of ITF tournaments and the WTA tournament in Charleston. She had limited success in singles with her best result being a semi-final finish in the $25,000 ITF tournament in Pelham. In doubles, however, she continued to perform well, reaching a WTA semi-final in Charleston with (w/Anastasia Rodionova) which meant she had reached the semi-finals in all three WTA doubles tournaments she had entered. She also won ITF titles in Pelham (w/ Arina Rodionova) and Innisbrook (w/ Alize Lim).

Tennis Australia awarded Barty a wildcard into the 2013 French Open.[13] She scored her first grand slam singles victory by defeating the Czech Republic's Lucie Hradecká in the first round. She had previously failed to win a match in five grand slam tournaments.[14] She subsequently played World No. 12 Maria Kirilenko in the second round. Barty had made an encouraging start to the match, however with scores locked at 3-3, rain forced play to be suspended for the day. She was blown away when play resumed on day six, winning just one more game in the match.[15]

Barty opened her Grass court season at the 2013 Aegon Classic in Birmingham. She lost the first round in qualifying against Nadiya Kichenok. However in the doubles with Casey Dellacqua they reached the final. The third seeds defeated Cara Black and Marina Erakovic in the final in straight sets. This was Barty's first WTA title and Dellacqua's second.[16] After losing in the first round of qualifying at Wimbledon, Barty and Dellacqua recorded three straight sets win to reach the quarterfinals of the Women's Doubles which included defeating fifth seeds Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears.[17] In the quarterfinals they upset second seeds Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka.[18] They reached their second Grand Slam final of the year after taking down seventh seeds Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Kveta Peschke.[19] Barty and Dellacqua were defeated in the final by eighth seeds Su-Wei Hsieh and Shuai Peng.[20]

Tennis Australia awarded Barty a wildcard into the US Open due to her excellent results in 2013. She opened the tournament with a win over Estrella Cabeza Candella in straight sets.[21] Barty lost in the second round in straight sets to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.[22] Barty again partnerd with Casey Dellacqua for the women's doubles as the eighth seeds. Barty and Dellacqua won through to the final without the loss of a set. This included wins over ninth seeds Liezel Huber and Nuria Llagostera Vives, second seeds Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, and tenth seeds Sania Mirza and Zheng Jie.[23] In the final they went down in three sets against fifth seeds Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Hradecká.[24]

On January 8, Barty was awarded a wild card into the 2014 Australian Open. [27]

Fed Cup

Barty was chosen to represent the Australia Fed Cup team for the first time in 2013. She was just 16 years old. This meant Barty was the youngest Australian Federation Cup player since Jelena Dokic in 1998.[28] The tie was a World Group First Round match against the Czech Republic. Barty and Casey Dellacqua lost the doubles rubber. Barty's next Fed Cup tie was against Switzerland in a World Group Play-Off. Barty played her first singles match in Fed Cup where she defeated Stefanie Voegele in straight sets.[29]

Playing Style

She has an all-court game and is suited to play on all surfaces. Her first serve is either flat or slice and her second serve is generally a kick serve. Her biggest weapon is the forehand from which she can generate angles with pace and spin. Her variety is also her strength and she can play any shot in the book (slices, drop shots, lobs etc.).

Her game has been likened to Martina Hingis
