Caroline Dolehide has an older sister, Courtney, who also has a notable career in tennis. She started by playing tennis in college at UCLA. But later on, she made a smooth transition into a coaching role. After serving as a coach at UT Austin, she went on and became the head coach of women’s and men’s tennis at Georgetown back in 2018. Not only that, the 32-year-old former player also earned ITA All-America honors in doubles during the 2012 season.

The Dolehide siblings are forging their own way together and serving as steadfast sources of encouragement for one another. As Caroline Dolehide embarked on her journey in tennis, she even received a compliment from none other than Venus Williams herself.
