Tennis career

Petrick started playing with her parents at the age of two.[1] As a young child she had tennis coaches in Oakville and Burlington; she also attended Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida for up to 9 months a year,[1][2] living in Bradenton, Florida with her mother.[3]

In July 2011, Petrick played her first professional tournament at the $50k WOW Tennis Challenger but lost in the qualifying first round to Nicola Slater.[4] In July 2012, she reached the semifinals in doubles of the $25kk Challenger de Granby with compatriot Françoise Abanda.[5]

In August 2012 at the age of 15 she won the Under-18 Canadian National Championship, beating Gloria Liang in straight sets (6-3, 6-4).[6]

In August 2014, Petrick won her first professional doubles title at the $25k Winnipeg Challenger where she played with Rosie Johanson. They defeated Maria Fernanda Alves and Anamika Bhargava in the final.[7]

Petrick made her WTA Tour debut in September 2014 at the Coupe Banque Nationale, having received a wildcard with Sonja Molnar into the doubles tournament where they lost to Barbora Krejčíková and Tatjana Maria in the quarterfinals.[8][9] Petrick was once again awarded a wildcard into the doubles main draw at the 2015 Coupe Banque Nationale in September, this time with Malika Auger-Aliassime, but was defeated in the opening round by Barbora Krejčíková and An-Sophie Mestach.[10]

She played her last match on the ITF Circuit in July 2017, retiring in early 2018 after a long struggle with a wrist injury.[3]
