She won her first ITF tour doubles title the following year in Viserba, Italy in July 2024. Alongside her Italian partner Anastasia Bertacchi, they defeated Francesca Pace and Inès Ibbou in the final. [3][4] That month, she qualified for the girls' singles at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships with a win over Ksenia Efremova in a 10:6 match tie-break.[5] In December 2024, she played her first tournament on the WTA Tour in Limoges where she won her first round match against the world number 159 Victoria Jiménez Kasintseva.[6][7]

She beat Mingge Xu to reach the quarter finals of the girls singles at the 2025 Australian Open where she lost to Australian Emerson Jones.[8] In March 2025, she won her first ITF singles tournament defeating Frenchwoman Lois Boisson 7-6 (7/4) 6-3 in Terrassa, Spain.[3] At the 2025 French Open she had Francesca Schiavone in her box.[9] She reached the semi-finals of the girls' singles with a win over the number 12 seed Julia Stusek. In doing so, she became the first Austrian player to reach the semi-finals of a junior Grand Slam since Tamira Paszek in 2006.[3] In the semi-final she again faced Emerson Jones, winning in straight sets before facing Hannah Klugman.[10] In the girls' doubles she played alongside Slovakian Mia Pohánková and they reached the semi-finals before facing German pairing Sonja Zhenikhova and Eva Bennemann.[3]
