At the age of 12, she starred in Hollywood with Will Smith, today she started her own film.

Thee Frodin, a 17-year-old tennis player from the United States, made her debut at the US Open, competing against world-ranked player Jelena Ribakina. Despite losing the match, Frodin's journey from a young girl who played alongside Serena Williams in the movie 'King Richard' to becoming a professional tennis player has been remarkable. She spent six months filming the movie, which portrays the life of Serena Williams' family, and later returned to her tennis training, facing challenges in regaining her technique. Her recent success at the USTA State Championship earned her a wild card entry into the main draw of the US Open, where she received strong support from the crowd but ultimately fell short. Notably, Frodin never met the real Serena Williams, whom she portrayed in the film.
