She became the World Number 1 for the first time after winning her 6th WTA title at October’s Wuhan Open.

She also made it to the final at this year’s US Open but lost in straight sets to Serena Williams.
Her most notable victory yet came during her second Wimbledon championship win when she beat Simona Halep in three sets. The match was extremely tense and close, which made it Karolína’s best Tennis yet. To this day, Karolína is the highest-ranked player without a Grand Slam title.
