Personal life
[edit]Fichman, who is Jewish, was born and raised in Forest Hill in Toronto, Canada.[3][4] She is a citizen of both Canada and Israel.[4] Her parents, Julia and Bobby, emigrated from Romania to Israel in 1982, and then to Canada in 1989.[4] Bobby was a semi-pro tennis player, and is now a nuclear engineer. Her mother is a computer engineer and also a tennis fan.[4]
Fichman started playing tennis at the age of four,[5] and won her first tournament at six.[6] By age 13, she was the world No. 2 player under-14.[7] In 2004, at the age of 13, she was Canada's Under-18 Indoor & Outdoor National girls champion, and also won the doubles title with partner Mélanie Gloria. In 2006, Fichman and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova dominated doubles at the Grand Slam juniors by winning the Australian Open and French Open. At the 2006 US Open, Fichman reached the quarterfinals in girls' singles and came close to capturing her third Grand Slam title in doubles with a finalist showing. She lost in the finals of the Canadian Open Junior Championship in both singles and doubles. She attended Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, a public high school, which she graduated from in July 2008.[8]
Fichman's idol at the beginning was Belgian tennis player Justine Henin.[6]
Career

[edit]In 2005, Fichman won the gold medal in women's singles at the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel, at the age of 14. She defeated Israeli Julia Glushko in the semifinals[9] and 23-year-old Nicole Ptak of the United States in straight sets in the final. "I represented my religion and my country", she said after beating Ptak. "These Games are not just all about sports but meeting people, learning about culture and building friendship. Being the No. 1 Jewish female tennis player in the world is also not too shabby."[10] Fichman also won a bronze medal in the women's doubles, and wrapped up the event with silver medal in mixed doubles. She was also Canada's flag-bearer at the Games.[10]

At the end of January, Fichman won the eighth singles title of her career at the $25k event in Port St. Lucie, with a victory over Tadeja Majerič.[14] In August, she lost the final of the $100k Vancouver Open to Johanna Konta but won the doubles title alongside Maryna Zanevska.[15] A week later at the Rogers Cup, she reached the second round for the first time of her career in singles after defeating compatriot Stéphanie Dubois in her opening match. She also made it to the semifinals in doubles with fellow Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski, after an upset over first seeds Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. They were eliminated by Jelena Janković and Katarina Srebotnik.[16]
At the US Open, Fichman qualified for her first-ever Grand Slam main draw with a victory over Alexandra Panova.[17] She lost to world No. 22, Sorana Cîrstea, in the first round.[18] In September, Fichman made it to the Premier Mandatory main draw in Beijing with wins over Paula Ormaechea and Yaroslava Shvedova in first and last round of qualifying, respectively. In the main draw, she was eliminated by Galina Voskoboeva in the first round.[19]
2014
[edit]At the first tournament of her season, the Auckland Open, Fichman qualified and upset world No. 22, Sorana Cîrstea, in the first round to record the second top-50 win of her career (she also beat Cîrstea in 2010). The same week, she won her first WTA doubles title alongside Maria Sanchez with a victory over Lucie Hradecká and Michaëlla Krajicek in the final.[20] In February, at the $100k event in Midland, Fichman scored her third top-50 win when she beat world No. 45, Urszula Radwańska, to reach the semifinals.

[edit]In August 2015 at the Rogers Cup, Fichman reached the quarterfinals in doubles with compatriot Carol Zhao.[30]
She played a match at the $100k event in Trnava in May 2016, losing in the qualifying second round to Ágnes Bukta, and was inactive for nearly two years thereafter,[31] claiming injuries, mental fatigue and a growing interest in broadcasting and coaching made her decide to take a break from playing.[32]
2018
[edit]In April 2018, Fichman returned to the pro circuit at age 27, playing in doubles at the $60k event in Indian Harbour Beach. She reached the quarterfinals with partner Jamie Loeb.[2] Fichman credited her return to fiancé Dylan Moscovitch suffering an accident that cut off his chances of qualifying to the 2018 Winter Olympics, making her decide to take up tennis again and rise enough in the rankings to attend the 2020 Summer Olympics and bring Moscovitch along.[5]
2021: First Grand Slam doubles quarterfinal, WTA 1000 title, Olympics
[edit]In May 2021, Fichman won the first WTA 1000 and biggest title in her doubles career at the Italian Open, partnering with Mexican player Giuliana Olmos. In the final, they defeated the pair of Kristina Mladenovic and Markéta Vondroušová who were making their debut playing together. They had entered the tournament as alternates and defeated top seeds Hsieh/Mertens and the Japanese fourth seeded duo Aoyama/Shibahara en route to the championship match.[33][34] As a result, she entered the top 40 in doubles for the first time in her career at No. 31. In February, Fichman and Olmos also reached their first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2021 Australian Open. Fichman managed to qualify for the Olympic tennis tournament, partnering Gabriela Dabrowski, and the 2021 WTA Finals, partnering Giuliana Olmos.[35]
