Profile & career
Following in her big sister's footsteps.
Linda Fruhvirtova has often said that her little sister would end up stronger than her, just as Venus Williams once said of Serena. Brenda has certainly followed her elder sister closely: in 2020, aged 12, she succeeded her as champion of the Petits As in Tarbes, the unofficial under-14 world championship. The Fruhvirtovas are the only sisters ever to have won the tournament.
A precocious talent, she beat her compatriot Kateřina Siniaková, then world No. 54, 7-6, 6-1 in an exhibition in July 2020, aged just 13. On 21 December 2021, at 14, she won her very first match on the professional circuit, against Korea's Jeong Moon at the WTA 125 event in Seoul, where she had received a wildcard.
She then made her mark on the ITF circuit, winning 15 titles, and broke into the top 100 in 2024, reaching a best ranking of No. 87 that July, the year of her first Grand Slam wins.
Did you know?She won the Petits As in doubles in 2019, aged 11, and in singles in 2020, aged 12.

Titles, year by year.
Her first ITF title came in Tucumán at the start of 2022, under the watchful eye of Gabriela Sabatini, making her one of only 21 players in 30 years to win a professional title at 14. She won a second tournament in Tucumán straight afterwards, something no player that young had ever done, then qualified for her first main-tour event in Guadalajara by beating Sara Errani, the youngest player to do so since Madison Keys in 2009. After a 2022 season of 51 wins and nine defeats, she became the fifth-youngest player to qualify for the Australian Open in 2023, aged 15. In 2024 she won her first Grand Slam matches, beating Ana Bogdan in Melbourne before facing eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, then Mirra Andreeva, seeded 24th, at Wimbledon, the biggest win of her career so far. She also won matches at the WTA 1000 events in Miami and Rome. In 2020, aged 13 and nicknamed the Prodigy, she also played the only women's UTS event organised to date, losing to Alizé Cornet.

MOURATOGLOU ACADEMY
Her link with the Mouratoglou Academy.
Brenda Fruhvirtova joined the Mouratoglou Academy in 2017 with her sister Linda, aged just 10, and has done almost all of her training there. Guided by Mathis di Maio, technical coordinator of the ChampSeed foundation for young talent, she has achieved the biggest successes of her career within the academy, which she still attends regularly.
Patrick Mouratoglou, with whom she has worked a lot on her forehand, backed her publicly at the start of 2022, just after her first ITF title in Tucumán: “You should believe in her, you won't regret it.”

GAME & EQUIPMENT
How Brenda plays.
Her game
Brenda Fruhvirtova plays a harder-hitting, more aggressive game than her sister Linda, always looking for the knockout blow from the baseline. The two share one weapon: a remarkably fluid backhand that she uses to pull opponents off the court. Her punchy tennis seems made for fast courts, yet clay has brought her the most success, with 14 of her 15 ITF titles and 46 of her 51 wins in 2022, before she went on to show the versatility of the most talented players.

Personal life & interests.
Like her sister Linda, to whom she is very close, Brenda was coached by her father, Hynek Fruhvirt, at Sparta Prague, the famous club where Tomáš Berdych, the Plíšková sisters and Radek Štěpánek also played. Away from tennis she loves music, reading (especially novels and self-help books) and travelling, which she often shares on social media. She also enjoys surfing, both on the sea and on snow.
