After trying out different sports, she started playing tennis at the age of nine. But, according to her, she was never quite good enough to go pro.
"Let's say; I was not really good enough to be a professional tennis player or the situation back then wasn't really going my way, in that way. I continued playing tennis until I got to university basically, and then by chance, I got this information about the umpire school in my national association," said Marijana.
She enrolled in umpire school and ended up as one of the top students to graduate from the institution. She's had opportunities to oversee matches from the chair several times since 2010.

Receiving her gold badge for umpiring in 2015, Veljovic's been in the chair for some of the biggest matches on the tennis calendar. In 2018, she officiated the Australian Open women's singles final, and in 2019, she was in the chair for the Wimbledon women's singles final.
As a gold judge, she runs matches for some of tennis' greatest stars like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Caroline Wozniacki, and more.
It wasn't just the fans who noticed the striking figurestriking figure sat in the umpire's chair. Women's tennis star Genie Bouchard, who has received plenty of online attention herself tweeted to say "The umpire in this Roger/Tennys match is super pretty."
Clearly, with Veljovic taking charge of some of the biggest matches in the sport, she has risen to the very top of her profession, and she's happy to be a female role model for other aspiring female officials.

"But the experience overall, I think it's a great experience, a great life experience. So yes, I would definitely recommend it."

Veljovic grabbed all the attention on the field; however, people need to see women past their external appearance rather than being fixated on it. In the current sphere, we need to see women more than her outer persona.
