Asia Muhammad (born April 4, 1991) is an American professional tennis player, who is a doubles specialist.[1] She has been ranked as high as world No. 24 in doubles by the WTA, achieved on 12 August 2024 and No. 124 in singles, achieved on 8 April 2024.
Muhammad has won ten doubles titles on the WTA Tour, four doubles titles on the Challenger Tour as well as 14 singles and 35 doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. She has reached a WTA 1000 final, at the 2022 Indian Wells Open with Ena Shibahara. She also reached the semifinals of a major at the 2020 US Open, and won two WTA 500 titles, at the 2023 Adelaide International 1 and the 2024 Washington Open, all partnering with Taylor Townsend.[2] As a result, she reached a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 24 on 12 August 2024.
Early life
[edit]Muhammad was born in Long Beach, California to Ron Holmes and Faye Muhammad.[3] Ron Holmes was a 6-foot-5-inch (1.96 m) standout, four-year starting point guard for the USC Trojans men's basketball program in the 1980s. Muhammad's mother, Faye, was a point guard and track star at Long Beach State.[3][4]
She is the oldest of three children. One brother, Shabazz Muhammad, is a professional basketball player, who played for five seasons in the NBA.[3][5][6]
An uncle, Stephone Paige, played nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with 377 career receptions. Her aunt, Robin Holmes-Sullivan, was a four-year starter for Cal State Fullerton's basketball team.[4]
Early career and coaching
[edit]Muhammad is coached by NCAA champion Tim Blenkiron, owner of the NO QUIT Tennis Academy where Asia trains. Blenkiron started coaching her when she was a child in Andre Agassi's TEAM AGASSI tennis and education program in Las Vegas where she developed into a top junior player. Her first big break was reaching the finals of the Tennis Channel Open at the age of 16.[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two.
