    Monika Wejnert Profile
    A member of the AIS Pro Tour Program, Monika Wejnert made an instant name for herself during the 2008 December Showdown, when she reached the final of the Australian Open Wildcard Play-off, losing in three tight sets to Jelena Dokic after having beaten her earlier in the round-robin stage of the event.

    She made her senior Grand Slam debut at the 2009 Australian open, going down to Italian Karin Knapp 7-6(6) 6-4.

    She was also awarded a wildcard into the main draw of the inaugural Brisbane International. The 14/u Winter Nationals Champion in 2006, Monika represented Australia in the 2008 Optus Junior Fed Cup.

    Monika has two siblings, a younger brother, Jakob, and an older brother, Szymon, who began playing tennis and inspired her to take up the sport.

    The things she most enjoys about tennis are the challenges and fulfilling life goals. Monika says her parents, Kazimierz, a welder, and Janina, a housewife, have been the strongest influence on her career, supporting her from a young age.

    When she’s not playing tennis, Monika enjoys relaxing and going for bike rides. Her short-term goals are to travel and achieve a top 10 ranking and her ultimate tennis ambition is to win the Australian Open.

    Monika admires Roger Federer because of his unbelievable game, saying “he’s one of the best players the world has ever seen”. Her strength is her ability to perform well under pressure but she says her eating habits while travelling could be better.
