Tennis champion Ash Barty has announced the arrival of her and husband Garry Kissick's second child.

Barty posted a photo of her newborn daughter Jordan on Instagram on Monday afternoon.

"Welcome to the world, Jordan," the 29-year-old wrote next to a photo of a yawning infant in a sleep suit and beanie.

"You are loved unconditionally and we are so grateful to have you in our arms, gorgeous girl."

Jordan is the couple's second child; their son Hayden is almost two years old.
