Career Journey & Achievements

• Rapid rise up the rankings: From outside the top 700 in early 2024, she broke into the top 200 by May, and the top 100 by early 2025-highlighted in a renewed surge across WTA events. 

• Tournament titles:

  • Rabat Open 2025 (WTA 250) - Captured both the singles title and a doubles title (with Oksana Kalashnikova) 

  • Eastbourne International 2025 (WTA 250) - Drama in grass-court final: saved four championship points to win 7‑6 in the decider-a landmark first Eastbourne win for an Australian woman since 1983

  • Faced Jessica Pegula at 2025 Australian Open on one of the biggest stages (John Cain Arena), and previously Azarenka under lights 

Playing Style & Persona

• Maya is known for her aggressive baseline game, nimble footwork, and adaptability across surfaces, excelling on both clay and grass. 

• She carries an introspective and humble storytelling style, candidly recalling her nerves and disbelief at high-pressure matches like Azarenka and Pegula:

  “I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there… I was like, ‘I’m not winning this match’.”
