Vivian Glozman

Profile

Vivian Glozman is a professional pickleball player from Washington State, US. With roots in Taiwan and Ukraine, she started tennis at age 5 and won her first U18 tournament at 10. A talent who made the national top 10 and reached as high as No. 1, she played college tennis at three NCAA Division I programs: UC Berkeley, the University of Virginia, and the US Air Force Academy. She stands 180cm.

Career and record

She started pickleball through a chance encounter with a neighbor in late 2022, and in just 6-7 months, in June 2023, she quit her full-time job to turn pro at astonishing speed. As of 2025 she ranks 7th in the world and in the DUPR women's top 4. She has played 49 tournaments total, posting a 130-92 record over 369 matches. Her main results include winning the 2025 PPA Australia Pickleball Open, the 2024 PPA Veolia Los Angeles Open, and the 2024 PPA Bristol Open.

Play style

Right-handed. Her weapons are the wide reach afforded by her height and the powerful two-handed backhand built in tennis. Though aggressive in style, her counter-shots are highly accurate, and her ability to turn instantly from defense to attack stands out.

Paddle and sponsor

She uses the Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro. In MLP she belongs to the Chicago Slice.

Latest developments

She has made the world top 10 just a few years after picking up a paddle, an unprecedented rapid rise in pickleball history. She is active on both the PPA Tour and MLP in the 2025-2026 season as well.
