Born and raised in Truin, Italy, Giulia Pairone’s love for tennis began at just three years old. With her parents’ instruction and encouragement, she has had quite an outstanding career. From participating in four of the Junior Grand Slams to reaching the semifinals of the U16 European Championships in Moscow in 2012, her thirst for growth and accomplishment led her to being recruited by a Division 1 school here in the United States. With the plan of moving to the states for school, bitter-sweet emotions followed.

Even with leaving her family to peruse her education and tennis career, the rest of the Pairone family was nothing but supportive and encouraging. Being a very family-oriented person, Giulia always looks forward to visiting her family between school semesters, and keeps her cheerful attitude and drive, knowing she has an incredibly strong support system behind her.
