Caroline Dolehide, known for her aggressive style of play, has made many headlines this season. However, she is not the only one interested in athletics in her family. She has three siblings who are equally involved in sports. And together, the Dolehide siblings are continuing to make their mark in the athletic world.
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.
Like her older sisters, Stephanie Dolehide also shares a keen interest in tennis as well. She is currently committed to West Point. And it shows how she is not only eager to excel in the sport but also to make her country proud in doing so.

However, the Dolehide family is not complete without the youngest brother, Brian Dolehide. But unlike his sisters, he has chosen an alternative career path in athletics. Brian Dolehide is interested in playing golf and is currently the Head Men’s & Women’s Golf Coach at Texas A&M Commerce.
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.

Famous for her forceful baseliner, Caroline Dolehide can hit her opponents with solid groundstrokes and also with her excellent serve. Her forehand abilities on the court worked like magic when she began her career as a teenager. And it has continued even now, as her forehand talents still remain one of her best shots. Even Venus Williams complimented her for her amazing serve when she faced off against her at the Canadian Open 2018. “She had a really great second serve,” she said after defeating Dolehide.
Caroline Dolehide even achieved her first Grand Slam at the French Open that year. Soon in 2021, Dolehide grabbed her first WTA title in doubles at the Monterrey Open in Mexico. And as she continues to show her prowess on court, her support system remains strong off the court. With her siblings, the Dolehide family is sure to leave a prominent mark in the athletic world.
