Biography

She served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).[2]
She is the younger sister of Julia Glushko (10 years older), who was also a professional tennis player (ranked as high as No. 79 in the world), and with whom she has teamed as a doubles partner.[2] She was coached first by her father, and then by her brother.[2]
Career
[edit]In September 2017, Glushko won the inaugural Anna and Michael Kahan Family Prize in Ramat Hasharon, claiming NIS 100,000 in support; Glushko was able to use the money to purchase equipment and to travel abroad for tournaments and training camps.[3] In 2018, she won the $15k Akko hardcourt tournament.[4]

Notes
[edit]- ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
