The story behind the role.
The Türkiye Tennis Federation's official Management Board page, reviewed on 13 October 2026, lists İpek Soylu Şemin as a board member for the 2025–2028 term and supplies an identity-labelled portrait.
Born in Adana in 1996, Soylu Şemin began tennis at Adana Tennis and Mountaineering Club at age six and joined ENKA Sports Club at 13. The federation biography records a junior world ranking of No. 13, a Wimbledon junior main-draw appearance at 15 and the US Open junior doubles title at 17.
In senior competition she reached WTA rankings of No. 151 in singles and No. 69 in doubles and won three WTA doubles titles. The source records competition in 55 countries and Türkiye representation in every age group from age 12 through the senior national team.
The federation biography says an injury at age 27 led her to redirect her career, establish the İpek Soylu Şemin Foundation to share experience with young athletes and continue education in sports management. The injury is reported as the source’s explanation and no unsupported medical detail is added.
