FORT MYERS, Fla. – Head coach Courtney Vernon has announced the signing day addition of Nora Svensson to Florida Gulf Coast University women's tennis program.
 
Svensson is a native of Vasteras, Sweden and attends Widenska Gymasium. She was the under-18 Swedish champion in singles and doubles in 2022 and the runner-up in U18 doubles in the Swedish championships this year.
 
"We are overjoyed to have Nora join the Eagle family," said Coach Vernon. "In my first phone call with Nora, I could tell she was a special young woman. Her connections to Ida (Ferding) and Fanny (Norin), who have been at FGCU for a few years, are strong, and she is a bright, talented young woman. We are very thankful Nora made the decision to come to FGCU, and we cannot wait for her to arrive."
 
Svensson said she chose FGCU because of the warm weather and wanting to play outdoors. She comes from a tennis background as her mother, Asa Svensson played professional tennis, with a career-highest ranking of 28 in both singles and doubles on the WTA Tour.
