Career[]

Between August 2015 and May 2017, Kiick did not play in any ITF Circuit tournaments. She was sidelined during this time because she was diagnosed with stage-II-skin cancer (melanoma) and severe knee injuries that caused her to be out for a total of three years and two months. She also was diagnosed with mononucleosis.[1] In 2021, she was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma.[2]

Personal life[]

Kiick's parents are mother Mary, a former professional softball player, and father Jim Kiick, a former NFL player who won two Super Bowls with the Miami Dolphins.[3] Allie described her father as her hero upon his death.[4] She has one brother, Austin. Her mother introduced her to tennis at the age of 9. Kiick was coached at USTA by Kathy Rinaldi and Adam Peterson. Her tennis idol growing up was Kim Clijsters. She likes to wakeboard and snowboard in her spare time. She also loves dogs.[5]
