I was born on March 28, 2007 to Ceyda and Fatih, both of whom are from Bursa,Turkey. I have one twin sister, Hande who is 2 minutes younger than me. My mother was played tennis in her youth and also selected to U16 national team. My father also playing tennis and his coach is my mum. Both of them are working at private sector. I grew up in Bursa and interested in tennis when I was five after I was watching my parents playing tennis. My family realized my talent and I started to play tennis at DSİ tennis club where my mother were played also. We have had several success at Bursa before 10 years old with my sister and later we have began to work harder at Yenigun Tennis Academy.

In 2019, I entered the 12-year-old National Team as the champion. In 2021, I entered the 14-year-old National Team with the first place. Currently I am U16 National Team player. My next goal is to achieve success in ITF and WTA tournaments and to rise to the top in the rankings and represent my city and country. In the medium and long term, my target is to be a permanent Turkish athlete in the international arena and to serve tennis continuously.
In order to achieve these goals, I am especially looking for supporters who can enable me to participate in international tournaments. Those who want to support me on this path can contact me at defne@aslanbas.net.
