Career

2013–2016: Wimbledon & Miami Open third rounds, top 100 debut

Maria took a sabbatical in 2013, to have her first child, and returned to tour at the 2014 Copa Colsanitas.[1]

2017–2020: Top 50, first WTA Tour title

Maria reached a career-high ranking in the top 50 in November 2017.

She won her first singles WTA Tour title at the 2018 Mallorca Open defeating Anastasija Sevastova.[2]

2022: First Major semifinal at Wimbledon

Maria won her second title at the Copa Colsanitas, defeating Laura Pigossi in the final.[3]

At the Wimbledon Championships, she won in the third round against world No. 5, Maria Sakkari (her fifth top 10 win[4]), and in the round of 16 against 12th-seeded Jeļena Ostapenko, where she saved two match points.[5] This made her the oldest player to debut in a Wimbledon quarterfinal.[6] In the quarterfinal, she beat compatriot Jule Niemeier who was ranked 97th, in three sets. She reached a Wimbledon semifinal as the sixth female player in the Open Era over the age of 34,[7] and the sixth woman from Germany.[8] She lost her semifinal match to the second seed and world No. 2, Ons Jabeur, in three sets. She was the first mother-of-two to make the last four of a major since Margaret Court at Wimbledon 1975, and only the fourth player ranked outside the top 100 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals.[9] She was awarded the WTA Comeback Player of the Year for her performance in 2022.[10]

2023: Third title

Maria defended her title at the Copa Colsanitas in Bogotá, defeating Peyton Stearns in the final.[11]

She was selected as the No. 2 WTA player representing team Germany for the 2024 United Cup.

Personal life

Her father Heinrich Malek (Polish: Henryk Małek) was a Polish international handball player originally from Zabrze.[12]

On 8 April 2013, she married her coach, the French former tennis player Charles-Edouard Maria. Their first child, a daughter named Charlotte, was born on 20 December 2013,[1] and their second daughter, Cecilia, was born on 2 April 2021.[13]
