Early and personal life
Fridman was born to a wealthy family in Kyiv, the daughter of Ukrainian-Israeli oligarch Oleg Fridman.[http://izrus.co.il/obshina/article/2016-01-03/29930.html Юная теннисистка Ольга Фридман покоряет Израиль] 03.01.2016[http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Sports/Tennis-Fridman-claims-national-title-stuns-No-1-seed-Glushko-437826 Tennis: Fridman claims national title, stuns No. 1 seed Glushko - Jerusalem Post] Although she represented Ukraine internationally, Fridman also holds Israeli citizenship.
In December 2015, she had lived in Israel in recent years, and said: "I’d really like to represent Israel, but at the moment it depends on my parents. I really love the country and I believe it will eventually happen."
