Personal life and background[]

Galfi started playing tennis when she was five years old. Her father had two tennis courts, and he taught her how to play tennis.[2]

Career highlights[]

2013[]

Gálfi was given a wildcard for the Budapest Grand Prix, where she made her WTA Tour main-draw debut alongside Lilla Barzó in doubles,[3] only to lose to the 2011 French Open champions Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Hradecká.[4][5]

2015: ITF Junior champion[]

In December 2015, Gálfi was pronounced ITF Junior World Champion.[6] In that year, she won the girls' singles title at the US Open, and the girls' doubles title (with Fanny Stollár) at the Wimbledon Championships.

2021: Grand Slam debut[]

In July 2021, she reached her first WTA Tour semifinal at the Budapest Grand Prix as a wildcard.[7]

Six years after winning the junior title at the US Open in 2015, Gálfi qualified, after eight attempts, for the first time into the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament at the US Open.[8][9]
