Barty has an all-court game and a crafty style of play.
Her favourite surface is grass, despite initially not liking that surface because she had limited experience playing on it while growing up.
Barty has also performed well on hard courts, where she won her first WTA singles title and reached her first Premier 5 level final.
She has won both singles and doubles titles on all  three major surfaces.

Barty's short stature and diverse array of shots have led her to be compared to former world No.
1 and five-time Grand Slam singles champion Martina Hingis by David Taylor, one of Hingis' former coaches.
She has solid groundstrokes on both the forehand and backhand sides.
In particular, she uses her powerful forehand to create sharp angles on cross-court shots.
Her kick serve and backhand slice are also two of her better shots.
Barty's doubles game translates well to singles, as she frequently comes to the net and excels at volleying.
She uses her variety of shots to trouble her opponents.
Despite her height, Barty is an excellent server.
She finished the 2018 season at fourth on the WTA Tour in aces with a total of 297, nearly five per match.
She was also second in percentage of service points won that year among players with at least ten matches, behind only Serena Williams.

Thanasi Kokkinakis, one of her compatriot contemporaries as well as one of her mixed doubles partners, has described her game as, "Ash plays different to most girls.
She likes to come into the net, she uses her slice very well and she’s crafty.
Whereas a lot of girls like to hit the ball hard and flat, she plays a little bit differently, she plays with a bit more control... and she makes things awkward for her opponent."
