Pliskova was born on March 21, 1992 to Radek Plisek (father) and Martina Pliskova (mother) in Louny, Czech Republic. She spent her childhood in her home country and turned pro in 2009.

She didn’t have much interest in tennis and hence credits her parents for getting herself and her sister hooked to tennis. “It was definitely both of my parents, my twin Kristyna and I started to play because of them. We started to play because of them, no one played tennis in my family before. My father was playing ice hockey, but there were no other sportspeople in our family at all. But we started because of them,” she said back in the day.
