Early life and college years
Barnett's home is in Painswick, Gloucestershire.[2] She is one of four siblings, including younger sister Sophie Barnett. She began playing tennis at the age of seven, started competing on the ITF Women's Circuit at the age of 16/17.[3]
Barnett joined Team Bath Tennis High-International Performance Academy as a 16-year-old through the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sport and Exercise (AASE) programme and has since returned for postgraduate studies.[4] It is believed that she took her studies abroad and graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois, in 2017.[3][2]
Career overview
Barnett made her WTA Tour debut, partnering with Olivia Nicholls, at the 2022 Lyon Open where they reached the final.[5][6] Their subsequent performance throughout 2022, including winning the 2022 Championnats de Granby,[7] led to both being selected for the British team ties vs. Kazakhstan and Spain at the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.[8]
Partnering with Jonny O'Mara at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, Barnett reached the mixed doubles quarterfinals.[9] She repeated the feat, this time alongside Marcus Willis, at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships.[10]
