Personal life

edit

Fichman, who is Jewish, was born and raised in Forest Hill in Toronto, Canada.[3][4] She is a citizen of both Canada and Israel.[4] Her parents, Julia and Bobby, emigrated from Romania to Israel in 1982, and then to Canada in 1989.[4] Bobby was a semi-pro tennis player, and is now a nuclear engineer. Her mother is a computer engineer and also a tennis fan.[4]

Fichman started playing tennis at the age of four,[5] and won her first tournament at six.[6] By age 13, she was the world No. 2 player under-14.[7] In 2004, at the age of 13, she was Canada's Under-18 Indoor & Outdoor National girls' champion, and also won the doubles title with partner Mélanie Gloria. In 2006, Fichman and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova dominated doubles at the Grand Slam juniors by winning the Australian Open and French Open. At the 2006 US Open, Fichman reached the quarterfinals in girls' singles and came close to capturing her third major title in doubles with a finalist showing. She lost in the finals of the Canadian Open Junior Championship in both singles and doubles. She attended Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, a public high school, which she graduated from in July 2008.[8]

Fichman's idol at the beginning was Belgian tennis player Justine Henin.[6]

Career

She defeated Israeli Julia Glushko in the semifinals[9] and 23-year-old Nicole Ptak of the United States in straight sets in the final. "I represented my religion and my country", she said after beating Ptak. "These Games are not just all about sports but meeting people, learning about culture and building friendship. Being the No. 1 Jewish female tennis player in the world is also not too shabby."[10] Fichman also won a bronze medal in the women's doubles, and wrapped up the event with silver medal in mixed doubles. She was also Canada's flag-bearer at the Games.[10]

She played a match at the 100k event in Trnava in May 2016, losing in the qualifying second round to Ágnes Bukta, and was inactive for nearly two years thereafter,[31] claiming injuries, mental fatigue and a growing interest in broadcasting and coaching made her decide to take a break from playing.[32]

2018

edit

In April 2018, Fichman returned to the pro circuit at age 27, playing in doubles at the 60k event in Indian Harbour Beach. She reached the quarterfinals with partner Jamie Loeb.[2] Fichman credited her return to fiancé Dylan Moscovitch suffering an accident that cut off his chances of qualifying to the 2018 Winter Olympics, making her decide to take up tennis again and rise enough in the rankings to attend the 2020 Summer Olympics and bring Moscovitch along.[5]

edit

Partnering with Mexican player Giuliana Olmos, Fichman reached her first Grand Slam tournament quarterfinal at the Australian Open,[33] where they lost to eventual runners-up Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková in three sets.[34]

In May, she won the first WTA 1000 and biggest title in her doubles career at the Italian Open, partnering Olmos. In the final, they defeated Kristina Mladenovic and Markéta Vondroušová.[35][36] As a result, she entered the top 40 in doubles for the first time in her career at No. 31.[citation needed] The following month, Fichman and Olmos made it through to the third round at French Open.[37]

Fichman qualifyed for the delayed Tokyo Olympic, partnering Gabriela Dabrowski, and the WTA Finals, partnering Olmos.[38]
