Early life and background

Born in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, Brenda is the younger sister of fellow professional tennis player, Linda Fruhvirtová.

The Fruhvirtová sisters have been training at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in Southern France since 2017, and are recipients of the Patrick Mouratoglou foundation.

Career

Juniors

In 2018, Fruhvirtová won the U12 Eddie Herr tournament. She was ten years old when she won the title.

In April 2019, Brenda won the 2019 Trnava Cup U14 single title. In 2019, Brenda and her sister Linda won the Petits As doubles title together, with Linda also winning the singles title. One year later Brenda won the singles title in 2020, as a 12-year old, becoming the youngest winner in the tournament's 38-year history. The Fruhvirtová sisters became the first members of the same family to win the title two years in a row.

In July 2020, Fruhvirtová defeated world No. 54, Kateřina Siniaková, during an exhibition tournament in the Czech Republic. A few weeks later, Fruhvirtová was invited to participate in the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) at the Mouratoglou Academy. She was one of the four players to compete in the first women's edition UTS, and lost to Alizé Cornet. In September 2020, she received a wildcard by the French Tennis Federation to compete in the girls' singles draw at the French Open. She was the youngest player to feature in the event (13 years old).

2022: Eight ITF titles, top 200 & WTA Tour debuts

At 14 years, 10 months and four days, Fruhvirtová became the youngest ITF Circuit champion, claiming her first title at the $25k Tucuman event in Argentina, since American Claire Liu, then 14 years, 9 months old, won a $10k event in Orlando in 2015. She won a second $25k title in Tucuman the following week. Fruhvirtová made her WTA Tour debut, after being awarded a wildcard into the Abierto Zapopan qualifying draw; she defeated former world No. 5, Sara Errani, and Leonie Küng to reach the main draw and make her WTA Tour debut, where she lost in straight sets to the sixth seed and former world No. 3, Sloane Stephens. In the six months following her 15th birthday, she won another six $25k tournaments at Klosters (Jun 26), Danderyd (Aug 14), Mogyorod (Aug 21), Braunschweig (Aug 28) and Santa Margherita di Pula (Sep 18 & Oct 23).

2023-24: Major and top 100 debuts

She qualified for her first major in her qualifying debut at the 2023 Australian Open. As the youngest player in the top 250, she became the fifth-youngest qualifier in Australian Open history and the youngest since Marta Kostyuk in 2018.

She received a wildcard for the main draw at the Miami Open. She also qualified for the 2023 French Open making her debut at this major.

In January 2024, she again qualified for the Australian Open for a second consecutive year. She recorded her first win at a major defeating Ana Bogdan, and reached the top 100 in the rankings.

Having made it through qualifying, Fruhvirtová defeated 24th seed Mirra Andreeva in the first round of Wimbledon for her first main-draw win at the grass-court major, before losing to Paula Badosa in her next match.
