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 in Israel. She graduated from Ironi Gimel High School in Modiin, Israel.

She served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

She is the younger sister of Julia Glushko (10 years older), who was also a professional tennis player (ranked as high as No. 79 in the world), and with whom she has teamed as a doubles partner. She was coached first by her father, and then by her brother.

Career

In September 2017, Glushko 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. In 2018, she won the $15k Akko hardcourt tournament. In 2021, she won the $25k Kiryat Motzkin hardcourt event. In July 2022, at the $25k Corroios-Seixal hardcourt tournament, while ranked 268, she upset No. 116 Vitalia Diatchenko.

In doubles in 2021, Glushko and Alicia Barnett won the $15k Sharm El Sheikh hardcourt tournament, and she and Shavit Kimchi won the $25k Netanya hardcourt event. In 2023, she and Emina Bektas won the $25k Pretoria hardcourt and the $60k Fukuoka carpet tournament.

Glushko made her WTA Tour debut at the 2022 Internationaux de Strasbourg.
