In our 'I Woke Up Like This' series, 9Honey removes the filters from everyday life and bares all for a much-needed reality check.

Speaking to a range of people — from faces you know to faces you will want to know — we tear away the façade of make-up and social media and bring things back to basics with realistic 'I woke up like this' selfies and morning routines.

Today, we're 'waking up' with tennis superstar Ash Barty.

What time do you wake up?

Tea or coffee?

"Definitely coffee."

TV or radio, podcast or silence?

"Silence."

What do you eat for breakfast?

"Toast with Vegemite, or cereal, fruit and yoghurt."

How long does it take you to get out the door?

"Not long, I'm pretty organised and usually have my training bags packed and ready to go."

Any unusual morning rituals or habits?

"My morning ritual is to get up with Origi, my Border collie. We have some girl time before Garry and the boys (our dogs Affie and Chino) wake up."

What's the one thing you never have time for in the morning?

"Walking the dogs… and they aren't happy about it."

What's the one thing you always do in the morning?

"Put on my Banana Boat Sport SPF50+ sunscreen. The tennis tour follows the sun year-round, so I always need to protect my skin before I leave for the day."
