Career

edit

Juniors

edit

On the ITF Junior Circuit, she was in the top 20 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 16, achieved in December 2015.[citation needed]

2014: Professional debut

edit

Zidanšek made a perfect professional debut in 2014 at her home in Velenje, passing three qualifying rounds to go in the main draw and claim her first title on the pro-level at the age of 16.[2]

2021: First major semifinal, top-50 debut, first top-10 win & WTA Tour title

edit

She reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam championship for the first time at the 2021 French Open, defeating Sorana Cîrstea in straight sets[3] and Paula Badosa in three sets.[4] These wins made her the first Slovenian female player to accomplish this since the country became independent in 1991. As a result, Zidanšek entered the top 50 for the first time.[citation needed] She also scored her first top-ten win in the first round, against the No. 6 seed, Bianca Andreescu.[5] In her semifinal match, Zidanšek was defeated by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets.[6]

At the Ladies Open Lausanne, as the top seed, Zidanšek beat Marina Melnikova, Mandy Minella, Lucia Bronzetti, Maryna Zanevska and Clara Burel to win her first WTA Tour singles title.[7]

2022: Top 25 debut, two major third rounds

edit

Seeded 29th at the Australian Open, she reached the third round for the first time, but lost to Alizé Cornet.[8] At the French Open, Zidanšek also reached the third round in which she lost to Jessica Pegula, in straight sets.[9]

2023-2024: Third WTA 125 title, WTA semifinal

edit

After saving four championship points and defeating Rebecca Šramková in the final, Zidanšek won the WTA 125 tournament in Bari.[10] As a result, she moved 30 positions up in the rankings back to the top 100 on 11 September 2023.[11]

She qualified for the 2024 French Open defeating Hailey Baptiste in the final qualifying round.[12] In the main draw, she defeated Alison Van Uytvanck,[13] to set up a match against world No. 3, Coco Gauff, which she lost in straight sets.[14]

Ranked No. 261 at the Thailand Open, Zidanšek reached her first WTA Tour semifinal since January 2022 coming back from a set down to beat Tatiana Prozorova,[15] sixth seed Katie Volynets,[16] and Nadia Podoroska, saving four match points in the quarterfinals.[17][18][19] She lost in the last four to eventual champion, Rebecca Šramková.[20]

Coaches

edit

Zidanšek was coached by Zoran Krajnc until April 2021. In May 2021, her team signed with Pancho Alvariño from Spain. Carl Maes joined the team in December 2021 for a period of one year. After a few coaching trials, she is now coached by former Slovenian ATP Tour player Blaž Kavčič.
