Career[]

In 2018, Burel reached the junior singles final at three major events, the Australian Open, the US Open and the Youth Summer Olympics (YOG). Partnering with compatriot Hugo Gaston, she also won the mixed doubles bronze medal at the YOG. In October, Burel qualified for the ITF Junior Masters, where she captured her first major title. She became the junior world No. 1 the next week, on October 29.

Following her final in Melbourne, Burel was selected as an alternate in the French Fed Cup team for the 2018 first round against Belgium. In September, she reached her first final on the Pro Circuit at Clermont-Ferrand, falling to Lesley Kerkhove.

Burel was a wildcard entrant in the 2019 Australian Open, where she lost in the first round to Carla Suárez Navarro.[1][2]

In 2020, Burel received wildcards for two WTA tournaments, and one Grand Slam championship. At Lyon in March, she lost in the first round to Jil Teichmann.[3] At Strasbourg in September, she knocked out Kateryna Bondarenko before falling in the second round to Zhang Shuai. At the French Open the following week, she beat Arantxa Rus in the first round, and Kaja Juvan in the second round.

In July 2021, Burel reached her first WTA final at Lausanne, losing in three sets to Tamara Zidanšek.[4]
