Marina Sicic first discovered pickleball in the United States during the summer of 2024 and was immediately hooked. A former collegiate tennis player, Sicic found that pickleball reignited her passion for competition after stepping away from tennis.

Within a year of picking up the sport, Sicic moved back to Europe and began competing regularly on the European circuit. She has since earned more than 15 medals and climbed to the top of the RTA rankings, quickly establishing herself as one of Europe’s rising competitors.
