Meet Zuzanna “Zuza” Dziok – A Young Tennis Talent from London

Hi everyone!

My name is Zuzanna Dziok, but please call me Zuza. I’m 14 years old, born and raised in London — and fun fact: I share my birthday (31 May) with former world No.1 Iga Świątek!

You can find me on Instagram at @zuzka.tennis (a private and supervised account run together with my mum, Paulina).

My Tennis Journey

I started playing tennis in 2017, when I was 6 years old, at West Ham Park in East London. Since then, I’ve been lucky to train with the best Spanish coach in the world – Mario Robledo Saiz, who has guided and supported me ever since.

Over the years, my love for tennis has only grown stronger. Since 2020, I’ve been competing more seriously — and I’ve already collected 145 medals and 85 trophies! I regularly play national tournaments across the UK and have established myself as a Top 20 player in my age category.

In the 2024–2025 season, I also had the chance to train and compete indoors during winter, meeting amazing coaches and players thanks to the support of our family friend Rafał, who kindly helped with a donation from the USA.

2024 Achievements

2024 was an incredible year! After a successful spring season filled with regional and national tournaments, I had the opportunity to compete in the Play Your Way to Wimbledon tournament — one of the most prestigious junior events in Great Britain.

After winning 11 matches through the local, county, and regional stages, I qualified for the National Finals at the All England Club, where I reached the semifinals in singles on grass!

(You can find the results on Wimbledon.com under Play Your Way to Wimbledon 2024.)

Other highlights include:

• Lexus Welsh Junior Open 2024 – Doubles Finalist

• Tennis Europe BKT Advantage Cup 2024 – Doubles Finalist & Singles Round of 16

• Regional Tour Women’s Singles Winner

• Consistent participation and success in U16 and U18 singles and doubles tournaments

️ From My Coach – Mario Robledo Saiz

“I’ve been coaching Zuzanna since she was 5 years old. From the start, it was clear she had a rare, natural connection with the ball — a true tennis talent.

She generates power effortlessly, has developed a smart game style, and has made huge progress in managing her emotions on court.

Zuzanna competes in National and International tournaments and is currently ranked among the Top 20 players in the UK. She has achieved all of this with only 4.5 hours of training per week, while most of her peers train 20 hours or more.

With more support and training opportunities, I have no doubt Zuzanna can reach the professional level.”

— Mario Robledo Saiz,

Director of Tennis Come True, LTA Level 3 Coach, RPT International Professional Coach

How You Can Help

Tennis is my greatest passion, and my dream is to become a professional player, representing both the UK and Poland.

To reach that next level, I need to increase my training hours and travel to more international tournaments — but this comes with significant costs.

That’s why I’m kindly asking for your support. Even small donations — £5, £10, £15, or £20 — make a huge difference and help my mum and me continue this journey together. Every contribution counts and brings me closer to my dream. ❤️

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for believing in me. Your support truly means the world.

With love and gratitude,

Zuza Dziok
