Help me fund my pro tennis career

hi, everyone!

My name is Khrystyna Vozniak, a 27-year-old who has been living in the USA since the age of 17. Originally from Ivano-Frankivsk, I moved to Kyiv with my family at the age of 9, which was a pivotal moment for my tennis career. To this day, I believe Kyiv is the greatest city in the world! I then came to the US to play college tennis, starting at Stony Brook University and graduating from Mississippi State University. I knew that the SEC would provide me with the best preparation to pursue professional tennis one day, and I enjoyed the experience of competing in the top tennis conference and being part of a great team. After overcoming several injuries and graduating, I remained determined to pursue my tennis career once the time was right.

However, it was never easy to pursue my dream of playing full-time, given that I was living alone in America while my entire family remained back home. My biggest challenge was to secure my life, and my family's future while also having a backup plan in case my tennis career didn't go as planned. This drove me to earn my MBA from the University of Tulsa, where I worked for the Men's Tennis team and met some of the best people. Tulsa is a special place that transformed my life, as I graduated in 2021, and received a job offer from a local law firm that permitted me to work remotely while I competed in tennis. The law firm provided a profound insight into the dynamics of a serious workplace, and envisioning myself in that role served as a significant milestone for personal growth and development.

Unfortunately, while competing in Texas, war broke out, which left a lasting impact on me. Despite the trauma and heartbreak that I continue to feel, it has also inspired me to pursue my dream of representing my nation and country by playing professional tennis. This dream is not only for myself but also for my family, country, and culture. After obtaining two degrees and gaining experience in a professional work setting, I am convinced that the time has come to make my professional tennis dream a reality. It is critical to me to represent and stand up for something greater than myself, and I am committed to doing so for the sake of my family & Ukraine.

With the support of friends & family your contribution will fund essential aspects like travel (flights, accommodation, car rental), tournament fees, gear (rackets, strings, shoes, apparel).

Fast forward to 2024 and I entered my first W75 ITF Pro in Rome, Georgia. I won 2 rounds and qualified for main draw of 75K. This made me earn my first WTA points. Playing in this tournament made me 100% confident that I can compete at the international level of tennis. I just need the experience of playing more tournaments.

My next event is in Florida and then plan to go back to Europe for 2 months to play in many tournaments until the season begins in the United States.

I need your help. Travel (flights, accommodations and car rental), tournament fees, gear (rackets, strings, shoes and apparel) are all expensive. While I have a part time job that pays for my living expenses in the US, I do not have sponsors at this time to help with these tournament expenses. But I know my abilities and my work ethic and my drive to make this dream a reality. I KNOW I CAN DO THIS, but I need your help to continue.

I can promise that any funds donated will ONLY be used for my tennis career. I would encourage you to follow my career on my Facebook page at Khrystyna Vozniak Tennis. (I have all the financial reporting in place, a live Excel Budget of expenses)

I would greatly appreciate your help and support. Please message me if you have any questions, Thank you. I will work hard to earn your support.

Stay tuned for my upcoming schedule and updates here:
