Timea Bacsinszky (born 8 June 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland) is a professional female tennis player residing in Belmont-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland. She joined the WTA Tour in 2004 and was ranked World No. 37 on 7 June 2010.
Her father, Igor, is a Hungarian tennis coach from Romania, her mother a dentist from Hungary. She has one brother, Daniel (music teacher) and two sisters, Sophie (musician and student) and Melinda (mother of two girls). Bacsinszky began playing tennis at age 3.
