Torsten Peschke [personal]

Right (itftennis.com, 21 Jun 2021)

She took up the sport at age two. (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)

"I actually have a picture of me on a tennis court already walking when I was 11 months old. My sister was five years older than me, and she was playing from a young age. I was just always on a tennis court around her. When my mum was pregnant with me, my mum was playing tennis. So ever since I could walk, I was on a tennis court and at least around it." (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)

Winning the mixed doubles and reaching the women's doubles final at Wimbledon in 2018. (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)

Philosophy:

"Doubles is definitely about problem solving. And what is life? Life is about problem solving." (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)

General
GOING PRO
She decided to go professional instead of attending university. "I felt if I went to college, I personally would maybe get distracted with the whole college scene because school is your main priority. It isn't tennis. But also you're trying to balance a social life and the tennis and everything. I don't know if I would maybe get distracted. So I wanted to give myself the best chance at tennis and for me, that was to turn pro and give that my all. That was the deciding factor. And some people need to go to college and maybe develop their tennis game, but I felt like, okay, maybe even if I'm grinding a bit on tour, I'll develop it more while I'm on tour. I felt if I went to college and I graduated, I might not play pro after, whereas if I went pro right away, then I knew I would give myself the best chance." (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)

EDUCATION
She has studied an online course in communications through the Women's Tennis Association [WTA] Indiana University East programme. (wtatennis.com, 27 Jan 2021)
