Early life
Grant was born in Rome. Born and raised in Italy, Grant is the daughter of Cinzia Giovinco, an Italian tennis teacher and Tyra’s manager, and of American former basketball player Tyrone Grant, who relocated to Italy to play basketball.[3] She has both Italian and American citizenship.[1] She trained at the Piatti Tennis Center in Bordighera along with Jannik Sinner.[4] Later, she moved to Orlando to train at the USTA National Campus.[5][6] Her younger brother, Tyson, is also a tennis player.[7] Her mother acts as her manager.[8]
She began her junior career representing the United States but switched at 17 years old to represent Italy in May 2025, just a few days before making her debut as the official ambassador of the 2025 Italian Open in her hometown, Rome, where she also received a wildcard from the organizers.[1]
