Barbora Palicova

Barbora Palicova starts every point the same way: with a two-handed backhand that has become her signature. Most tennis players her age are still finding their style, but Barbora has been on court professionally since 2020, when she was about 16. That early start gave her six years of match experience by now.

Born in Neratovice, Czech Republic, she brings a Czech baseline game to every tournament. She stands 5'6" with an athletic build, blonde hair, and brown eyes. Her real, natural physique suits the constant movement tennis demands. She's active online too, with 7k followers on Instagram following her journey. At 22, she's spent nearly a third of her life competing, and that's rare for any player.
