Danielle Bollettieri, 57, is the daughter of legendary tennis coach Nick Bollettieri (1931–2022), founder of the renowned Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Raised in the world of elite tennis, she assisted her father at the academy, running the elite group and traveling internationally with him, contributing to a close-knit community that produced champions like Andre Agassi and Monica Seles.
