I’m Ivana, and this year I’m making history as part of the very first Australian Team in the Beach Tennis World Cup.

For the first time ever, Australia will step onto the world stage in Brazil, competing against the best nations in the sport — and I’m proud to be one of the athletes representing our country.

Since I was a kid, like most young Aussies, the highest achievement I could have dreamed of was representing Australia in sport. In just 12 months, I’ve gone from local tournaments on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to winning international ITF titles and now preparing to represent Australia at the 2025 World Cup. (All while working my full-time job and a side-hustle)

But being part of history comes with real costs so I am currently seeking sponsorship and financial support for the following:

• Flights and Accommodation
• Tournament entries and Training expenses
• Equipment for competition and Recovery

I'm asking for help to fund my tournaments in the 3-month lead up to Brazil. I will be competing in tournaments on the ITF Circuit in Thailand, Perth and Manly. Your support helps me not just play — but represent Australia proudly, inspire the next generation of athletes and grow this sport I love at home.

I would love to be a brand ambassador for Aussie companies that align with our healthy, happy beach lifestyle. If you're not a business but willing to show your support, every contribution no matter the size brings me closer to making history in Brazil and beyond, and is truly appreciated.

So together, let's put Australia on the Beach Tennis map! 🌍💚💛
