Karolína Plíšková (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkaroliːna ˈpliːʃkovaː], born 21 March 1992) is a Czech tennis player.
Plíšková has won eight singles and five doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as ten singles and six doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career. On 30 January 2017, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 3. On 31 October 2016, she peaked at world number 11 in the doubles rankings.
As a junior, Plíšková won the girls' singles event at the 2010 Australian Open, defeating Laura Robson in the final. Playing for the Czech Republic at the Fed Cup, Plíšková has a win–loss record of 13–3, including two won matches in the 2015 Fed Cup World Group final.
Plíšková was born in Louny to Radek Plíšek and Martina Plíšková, and has an identical twin sister, Kristýna, who is two minutes older and is also a tennis player. She currently lives in Monte Carlo.
She has been previously coached by Jiří Vaněk (parted ways with him in late 2016). Her current coach is David Kotyza.
Karolína Plíšková has two Polynesian-style tattoos, one on her left thigh and another on the outside of her left arm. Her family members like her parents and her sister have tattoos in same style.
Pliskova plays an extremely aggressive style of play, highlighted by her powerful, accurate serve as well as forceful groundstrokes. Pliskova utilizes these, often in tandem with her net play, to extract errors from opponents or win points outright. Pliskova also shows lethal accuracy and power on mid court shots, often following them to net if not a winner. Pliskova's weaknesses include her ability to break down when off balance, particularly moving toward horizontally, particularly when stretched to the backhand wing. However, Pliskova's movement, though a tall player, is exceptional for her height. Because of her flat groundstroke motions as well as her height, Pliskova finds difficulty finishing points quickly when given lower balls, particularly sliced shots or when moved off balance with deep, heavy topspin shots.
