An upbeat Osaka told reporters ahead of the season-opening Brisbane International that she had tried to have a bit of fun and experience new things during the off-season, which meant her "first vacation ever".
Barty, who turns 24 in April next year, finishes 2019 in the women's No. 1 spot having claimed her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, winning the WTA Finals in Shenzhen and leading Australia to their first Fed Cup final since 1993.
The 23-year-old said it was the love of her family and close supporters who helped her reach the very top of the game.
