Biography
[edit]Glushko's USSR-born parents Sergio and Olga, sister Julia, and brother Alex immigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 1999, one year before she was born in Israel.[2] She graduated from Ironi Gimel High School in Modiin, Israel.[2]
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]
In 2021, she won the $25k Kiryat Motzkin hardcourt event.[4] In doubles, Glushko and Alicia Barnett won the $15k Sharm El Sheikh hardcourt tournament, and she and Shavit Kimchi won the $25k Netanya hardcourt event.[5]
In July 2022, at the $25k Corroios-Seixal hardcourt tournament, while ranked 268, Glushko upset No. 116 Vitalia Diatchenko.[6]
Glushko made her WTA Tour debut at the 2022 Internationaux de Strasbourg.[7]
In 2023, she and Emina Bektas won both the $25k Pretoria hardcourt tournament and the $60k Fukuoka carpet tournament.[5]
In February 2024, she won the W50 Pretoria hardcourt, winning all five of her matches in straight sets, and also won the doubles title, with Gabriela Knutson, without dropping a set.[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.
