Biography

Lesia Viktorivna Tsurenko (Ukrainian: Леся Вікторівна Цуренко; born 30 May 1989) is a Ukrainian tennis player.

Tsurenko has won four singles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as six singles titles and eight doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 18 February 2019, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 23. On 28 May 2018, she peaked at No. 115 in the doubles rankings.

Career

2013

In 2013, Tsurenko reached the semifinals of the WTA Premier Brisbane International tournament, after entering the draw as a lucky loser replacing Maria Sharapova; she defeated Jarmila Gajdošová and Daniela Hantuchová before losing in three sets to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Having qualified for the main draw of the Australian Open, she again faced Pavlyuchenkova, the 24th seed. This time Tsurenko won in three sets. She then beat fellow qualifier Daria Gavrilova in the second round, but lost to Caroline Wozniacki in the third. Tsurenko continued her good run of form on the North American hard courts, as she reached the third round at the BNP Paribas Open as a qualifier; she defeated Ayumi Morita and Yaroslava Shvedova before falling to Petra Kvitová. She reached a then career-high ranking of No. 60 in the world.

2014

After nearly falling out of the world's top 200 prior to Wimbledon in 2014, Tsurenko experienced a mid-career revival. After qualifying for Wimbledon, Tsurenko defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier to set up a second round meeting with Simona Halep; Tsurenko pushed the No. 2 seed to three sets before losing out on a possible third round appearance. She did however proceed to reach her first final on the ITF Women's Circuit in nearly two years, losing in the final of the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open to Jarmila Wolfe in three sets. She also reached the semifinals of the Tashkent Open before losing to eventual champion Karin Knapp. Her late-season run ensured she'd finish inside the world's top 100 for the second year in a row.

2015: First WTA title

In 2015, Tsurenko reached the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open, again as a qualifier, defeating Annika Beck, Andrea Petkovic, Alizé Cornet and Eugenie Bouchard before retiring against Jelena Janković in the quarterfinals due to an ankle injury she suffered in defeating Bouchard. After again reaching the second round of Wimbledon and losing to Irina-Camelia Begu, Tsurenko won her first WTA singles title in Istanbul, defeating Urszula Radwańska in final. As a result, she reached a career-high ranking of world No. 47. In summer, she qualified for the Rogers Cup in Toronto by beating Nicole Gibbs and Lara Arruabarrena, and then defeated Yanina Wickmayer, Wimbledon finalist Garbiñe Muguruza and Carina Witthöft, before succumbing to Sara Errani in the quarterfinals.

Her good form continued at the Connecticut Open. As a lucky loser, replacing Simona Halep, she defeated fifth seed Karolína Plíšková in straight sets in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, she eventually lost to French Open finalist Lucie Šafářová. Tsurenko found revenge one week later at the US Open, defeating the Czech sixth seed Lucie Šafářová in the first round. However, she lost to Varvara Lepchenko in round two.

2016: First Grand Slam fourth-round appearance

After struggle in first half of the year, Tsurenko made her first Grand Slam fourth round at the US Open after beating Irina-Camelia Begu and Dominika Cibulková before losing to defending finalist Roberta Vinci. Two weeks later, Tsurenko won her second WTA Tour singles title in Guangzhou, defeating Jelena Janković in the final.

2017: Third WTA title and top 30 debut

Tsurenko won her WTA third singles title in Acapulco, defeating Kristina Mladenovic in final. After Wimbledon, she reached a new career-high ranking of No. 29.

2018: Fourth WTA title and Grand Slam quarterfinals debut

Lesia Tsurenko defended her title in Acapulco as her fourth singles title by beating Stefanie Vögele in the final. In Cincinnati, Tsurenko made her first Premier Mandatory quarterfinal appearance in three years, after beating Danielle Collins，Garbiñe Muguruza，and Ekaterina Makarova en-route，before losing to Simona Halep. At the US Open, Tsurenko reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal after beating Alison Van Uytvanck，Caroline Wozniacki，Kateřina Siniaková，and Markéta Vondroušová, before losing to eventual champion Naomi Osaka. Tsurenko thus set a new career high of 26 in singles.

Notes

  • WTA Tournament of Champions was held from 2009 to 2014, when WTA Elite Trophy replaced it.
  • The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Total Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 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 two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  • In 2014, the Toray Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open.
