Junior career

In 2017, the champions of tennis tournaments in the junior group Daria Snigur and Maria Dolzhenko signed contracts with the International Tennis Academy (ITA), established with the support of people's deputy Ihor Kononenko, according to which the ITA should fund training and away tournaments for young tennis players to reach 18 age.[1]

On the ITF Junior Circuit, Snigur reached a career-high ranking of No. 2, achieved on 28 October 2019, after reaching the final of the ITF Junior Finals.

On 12 July 2019, Snigur became the second Ukrainian junior champion at Wimbledon after Kateryna Volodko. After reaching her first Grand Slam junior singles final, she defeated Alexa Noel, in straight sets.[2]

Professional career

2022: Grand Slam debut & first top-10 win

She made her Grand Slam main-draw debut as a qualifier at the 2022 US Open.[3][4] In the first round, she upset two-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1, Simona Halep. This was Snigur's first top-10 and career win at a Major event.[5][6] In the second round, Snigur made 48 unforced errors and lost to Rebecca Marino, in straight sets.[7]

She finished the year ranked No. 106, on 7 November 2022, and reached a career-high ranking of No. 105 a week later.

2023: Second top-10 win

At the Nottingham Open, she entered as a lucky loser and defeated French Open semifinalist, top 10 player and defending champion, second seed Beatriz Haddad Maia.[8]

At the 2023 Transylvania Open she reached the quarterfinals but lost to eventual champion Tamara Korpatsch. As a result she returned to the top 150 in the rankings on 23 October 2023.

2024: Australian Open debut

She made her debut at the 2024 Australian Open after qualifying.

Notes

  1. ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
