Professional career[edit]

2021: WTA Tour, WTA 1000 and Grand Slam debuts[edit]

Krueger made her WTA 1000 debut at the 2021 BNP Paribas Open after receiving a wildcard for the main draw.

Krueger made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2021 Silicon Valley Classic, where she received a wildcard into the doubles tournament, partnering Robin Montgomery.

She also received a wildcard on her Grand Slam debut at the 2021 US Open in singles and doubles.

2022-2023: Maiden WTA 125 title, top 100[edit]

At the 2022 US Open, she qualified for the main draw having received a wildcard for the qualifying competition.[4]

She also qualified for the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells in 2022 and 2023. She received wildcards for the main draw at the 2022 Miami Open and at the 2023 Miami Open.[5]

Krueger won her first WTA 125 title at the 2023 Veneto Open defeating Tatjana Maria in the final, in three sets.

She also won her first WTA 250 title at the Japan Women's Open without dropping a set, defeating Zhu Lin in the final.[6] As a result, she reached world No. 73 climbing 50 spots on 18 September 2023, becoming the seventh American to make her top 100 debut in 2023 and the first American teenager to crack the top 100 since Gauff as a 15-year-old on 14 October 2019.[7] She also qualified for the WTA 1000 China Open in Beijing.

2024: First WTA 1000 win, top 70[edit]

Following a second-round showing as a wildcard, at the next WTA 1000 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships, she reached the top 70 in the rankings. It was her second career top-25 win over world No. 21 Caroline Garcia, and her first main-draw victory in a WTA 1000 event.[8]

Notes[edit]

  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.
