At the University of Portland, Lukic was a two-time All-WCC Singles Second Team award recipient, and earned all conference all three completed seasons at Portland. Her overall record for the Pilots was 46-37 in singles and 33-46 in doubles. She also has a career high WTA ranking of 1059. 

Before College

Throughout her junior career, Lukic established herself as one of the top players in both Serbia and Europe. She won the U-18 European Championships and won the Serbian National Championships in every age category. She also reached the semi-finals of a futures event on the WTA circuit in 2016. 

Lukic is the daughter of Zivko and Jasmnia Lukic, and has one brother, Aleksa. She speaks seven languages and is hoping to add Spanish to the list in the near future. In her spare time, Lukic loves to go for hikes or spend time on the beach. 

“We are very excited Jelena will be joining our Wildcat Family. She already has done tremendous things in college and the pro level. She played number one her whole career at Portland and did great things” said Stotland. “Jelena is very talented and smart so she will fit right in. The fact she can speak seven languages will add lots of diversity to the team. We are looking forward to helping Jelena further grow at Arizona. We know she is ready to Bear Down.”
