Timofeeva won her first WTA Tour title on her main-draw debut at the Budapest Grand Prix in July 2023, defeating Kateryna Baindl in three sets in the final.[2] She became only the fourth lucky loser in WTA history to win a singles title and the ninth player to win a title on her tour debut; she was the second to do both at once, following Olga Danilović at the 2018 Moscow River Cup. As a result, she reached the top 125 in the rankings, on 11 September 2023.[3]
Ranked No. 170, she qualified for the 2024 Australian Open making her Grand Slam tournament debut.[4][5] She defeated Alizé Cornet, [6] former Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki[7] and 10th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia[8] to advance to the fourth round where she lost to Marta Kostyuk.[9] She reached the top 100 on 29 January 2024, moving up 70 positions, becoming the first 2003-born player to enter the Top 100.[10]
Timofeeva qualified for the 2024 Miami Open and defeated Varvara Gracheva,[11] before losing in the second round to 26th seed Linda Nosková.[12]
At the 2024 French Open, she lost in the first round to Wang Yafan in straight sets.[13] Attempting to defend her Budapest Grand Prix title, Timofeeva won her opening match against qualifier Simona Waltert[14] but then lost to Aliaksandra Sasnovich in round two.[15]
Personal life
She's the granddaughter of Liubov Timofeeva, internationally famous classical pianist.[16][17][18] At the 2023 US Open, Timofeeva began a blogging YouTube channel, Kiss My Ace, alongside friend and tennis player Ekaterina Kazionova, inspired by the blog of Daria Kasatkina.
