Personal life

Masarova's mother is Spanish and her father is Slovak. Born in Basel, hometown of Roger Federer, she was inspired to start playing tennis from watching Federer play in his first Wimbledon final in 2003.[2]

Junior career

In 2016, Masarova reached the juniors semifinals of the Australian Open, where she lost to defending champion Tereza Mihalíková. Later that year, she won the French Open junior title by defeating top-seed Olesya Pervushina in the semifinals and second-seed Amanda Anisimova in the final. Masarova was beaten by British wildcard Gabriella Taylor in the third round of the junior tournament at Wimbledon.

Professional career

Masarova made her WTA Tour singles main-draw debut at Gstaad in 2016, beating former world No. 1, Jelena Janković, in the first round.

Masarova made her Grand Slam debut at the 2021 US Open as a qualifier.[3] On her major debut, she reached the second round defeating Ana Bogdan 6–7(9), 7–6(2), 7–6(9) in the longest women’s match at this major in the Open Era.[4] As a result, she moved 55 spots up the rankings, reaching the top 200 for the first time in her career.
