Biography

Born in Split, Krstulović is the daughter of basketball player Duje Krstulović, who won a gold medal as a member of the Yugoslavian team at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.[1] As a junior she trained under Nick Bollettieri at the Bradenton Academy in Florida.

Krstulović, a right-handed player, made her only WTA Tour main draw appearance at the 1998 Croatian Bol Ladies Open, as a wildcard entrant. She also featured in the doubles match of a Fed Cup tie for Croatia in 1998, a World Group II quarter-final against Japan, in which she and partner Jelena Kostanic were beaten in the dead rubber by Rika Hiraki and Nana Miyagi.[2] She finished up on tour in 1999 while still competing as a junior, reaching the French Open girls' doubles semi-finals that year with Laura Dell'Angelo, then played collegiate tennis in the United States at Arizona State University.[3]
