Biography

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.[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, and with whom she has teamed as a doubles partner.[2] She was coached first by her father, and then by her brother.[2]

In September 2017, she 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] She also represents Israel in the Fed Cup, where she has a win–loss record of 6–4.
