TENNIS — Her Game

Quick
Intro

Lyndsey Philipps is not a player built by hype — she’s built by work. A full-time junior athlete competing internationally for South Africa, she combines elite coaching, performance, science, and a resilience-first mindset to accelerate her development. In just 2 years of tennis, she has already broken into the global rankings, earned national selection, and competed across Africa and the Miami Junior Orange Bowl. Her path is intentional: long-term development, world-class identity, and a commitment to using her platform to support wildlife conservation — a cause central to her family and her story.

"She's in the thick of her development. Focused. Building."
