Alicia Barnett (born 18 October 1993) is a British professional tennis player who specialises in doubles. On 24 October 2022, she achieved her career-high doubles ranking of world No. 59.
Early life and college career
[edit]Barnett's home is in Painswick, Gloucestershire.[2] She began playing tennis at the age of seven, started competing on the ITF Women's Circuit at the age of 16/17.[3]
Barnett joined Team Bath Tennis High-International Performance Academy as a 16-year-old through the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sport and Exercise (AASE) programme and has since returned for postgraduate studies.[4] It is believed that she took her studies abroad and graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois, in 2017.[3][2]
Tennis career
[edit]Barnett made her WTA Tour debut, partnering with Olivia Nicholls, at the 2022 Lyon Open where they reached the final.[5][6] Their subsequent performance throughout 2022 led to both being selected for the British team ties vs. Kazakhstan and Spain at the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.[7]
Partnering with Jonny O'Mara at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, Barnett reached the mixed doubles quarterfinals.[8] She repeated the feat, this time alongside Marcus Willis, at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships.[9]
