Early Life and Background
Giuliana Marion Olmos Dick was born in Schwarzach im Pongau, Austria, to a Mexican father and a Mexican-Austrian mother. Her family moved to Fremont, California, when she was two years old, and she grew up there alongside her two younger sisters. Holding citizenship in three countries, she was exposed early on to Mexican sports culture through events featuring figures such as golfer Lorena Ochoa and tennis player Melissa Torres Sandoval.
Olmos started playing tennis at the age of four and decided by age eleven that she wanted to pursue the sport professionally. While attending the University of Southern California, she majored in international relations and minored in occupational therapy. During her college years, she represented her country at the Summer Universiade in both 2013 and 2015, gaining valuable international experience before turning professional.
Path to Tennis
Olmos played for the United States in junior and ITF tournaments, once ranking second among American players. At the age of 16, she accepted an offer to represent Mexico, which provided sponsorship, travel funding, and a place on the country’s Junior Fed Cup and Fed Cup squads. The switch gave her the platform and resources she needed to pursue a full-time professional career.
At the University of Southern California, she sharpened her doubles game and came to understand that doubles was her strongest path forward in the sport. After graduating, she committed fully to the professional circuit in 2018. Her quick rise on the WTA Tour soon confirmed that doubles would be the foundation of her career.
