Early and personal life[edit]

In December 2015, she had lived in Israel in recent years, and said: "I’d really like to represent Israel, but at the moment it depends on my parents. I really love the country and I believe it will eventually happen."[2]
Tennis career[edit]
Fridman made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2015 Baku Cup in the doubles event, partnering Elizaveta Ianchuk.
She became the 2015 national champion at the age of 17, beating world No. 126, Julia Glushko, 6–2, 6–2 in the final of the Israeli championship.[2]
In January 2016, she made it to the final of the $25k event in Daytona Beach, where she was defeated by Ons Jabeur, in three sets.[3]
