"Who is this? This is Ashleigh Barty," the world No. 1 said, casually answering a journalist's phone in her press conference.

"Does anyone know a Kez, it has a grandma emoji?"

The journalist suggested Barty put it on airplane mode, but she decided to just answer it, prompting a room full of laughter.

Whoever Kez is, he or she didn't seem to get the joke and hung up. Barty was shocked.
