Meet Ema Burgic

Ema Burgic grew up in a small village in Bosnia and picked a racquet for the first time when she was 6. From her first tennis experience, Ema was unable to put the racquet down and set her mind on becoming the best tennis player that she could be. From a young age, she experienced first-hand overseas success that soon had her climb up the International junior rankings becoming the under 10’s, 12’s, 14’s, 16’s, and 18’s #1 player in Bosnia. She won her first WTA Tour event at the age of 16. Growing up, training, and competing on the red clay courts of Europe, Ema’s game was built around long points, a relentless competitive drive, and her determination to never give up. She trained for many hours with some of the best players in the world. and it was this time at a Spanish Tennis Academy that, unfortunately, her body began to break down and her career would be interrupted from this moment on with numerous injuries.
