Her mother died of breast cancer in September 2003, after which Pressel moved in with her grandparents Shirley Krickstein and Dr. Herb Krickstein, a retired physician and pathologist who is her coach as well as her grandfather, while her two younger siblings stayed with their father. Pressel continues to live with her grandparents. They are the parents of former top-10 tennis player Aaron Krickstein, Pressel's uncle.[3] For the eldest Krickstein, this is the second time he has groomed a young athlete into a star. Aaron Krickstein holds the record for being the youngest player ever to win a men's professional title when he won a tournament in Tel Aviv in 1983. "My father is very understanding and patient in helping young athletes," said Aaron.[1]
