Katie Swan

Katie Swan (born 24 March 1999) is a British tennis player. She has won 14 ITF singles titles and one in doubles. Her peak world ranking in singles is 118 and her highest in doubles is 293. When she made her debut, Swan was the youngest player to represent Great Britain in the Fed Cup.

Swan was born in Bristol, to parents Nicki and Richard. Whilst on holiday in Portugal when she was seven, she took tennis lessons. Her teacher had once played for Portugal and told her parents that she showed real talent and could represent her country in the future.

Swan was head girl at Bristol prep The Downs School and a keen hockey player, representing Avon and her school when they qualified for the under-13 national finals. She briefly attended Bristol Grammar School until the family moved to Wichita, Kansas (U.S.) in 2013 due to her father's job in the oil industry. Swan was one of the very few junior players on the competitive circuit who continued in school, Wichita Collegiate School, though from August 2015 she took online classes.

Since 2013, Swan has been based in Wichita.

She is in a relationship with Australian professional tennis player Alex Bolt.

In 2009, Swan won her first international tournament in Croatia, the prestigious Smrikve Bowl event for 10-year-olds, and went on to win an under-10s international title.

In 2014, she was a member of the four-strong GB squad, coached by Judy Murray, that triumphed in the Maureen Connolly Challenge Trophy, an annual under-18s competition, against the U.S. team.

On 30 January 2015, Swan defeated Dalma Gálfi, after facing three match points to reach her first junior Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, which she lost in straight sets to Tereza Mihalíková.
