Danilović representing Serbia at the 2019 Fed Cup

Danilović made her Fed Cup debut in February 2018 in Group I of Fed Cup Europe/Africa Zone, winning all three singles matches, including a 6–2, 6–4 win over world No. 15, Anastasija Sevastova, in the promotional play-offs.[6] The courageous performances for the national team earned Danilović a Fed Cup Heart Award and a cheque of $1,000 to be donated to a charity,[7] which she chose to donate to University Children's Hospital in Belgrade.[8]

In March, she won her first $25k title in Santa Margherita di Pula. In May, she was given a wildcard for the qualifying into the Premier Mandatory tournament in Madrid, where she beat former top-30 player Kateryna Bondarenko but lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the final round of qualifying. In mid-July, Danilović won the first $60k title in her career when she came back from one set down to beat another former top 30 player, Laura Siegemund, 5–7, 6–1, 6–3, in the final of Versmold. She also reached the final in doubles of the same tournament with compatriot Nina Stojanović.[9]

In late July, she won her first career WTA Tour singles title in Moscow, defeating Anastasia Potapova in the final, in three sets. Danilović became the first player born in the third millennium (after 2000) to win a WTA Tour singles title. She also became the second lucky loser in the history of the WTA Tour to win the title.[10] This was the first WTA tournament final between two players under 18 since Tatiana Golovin and Nicole Vaidišová played in the final of the 2005 Japan Open.[11]

She participated in the US Open qualifying, where she beat Bianca Andreescu, before losing to Jaimee Fourlis.

She next participated in the WTA 125 Mumbai Open, where she was seeded fourth and lost to Danka Kovinić in the first round, whom she also partnered with to reach the semifinals in doubles.

Ranked No. 94 at the 2023 Swedish Open in Bastad, she defeated top seed Emma Navarro to lift her first WTA 125 title.[37]
