Olga Danilović (Serbian Cyrillic: Олга Даниловић, pronounced [ôːlga danǐːloʋitɕ]; born 23 January 2001) is a Serbian tennis player.

In July 2018, Danilović won her first WTA Tour singles title in Moscow by beating Anastasia Potapova in the final. In September 2018, she also won her first WTA doubles title, in Tashkent. She has won five singles titles and one doubles title on the ITF Circuit. On 8 October 2018, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 96. On 24 June 2019, she peaked at No. 117 in the doubles rankings.

In 2018, Danilović's coach became former world No. 2, Àlex Corretja,[1] having been her mentor since 2016.[2] During her title in Moscow, former Serbian Fed Cup captain, Dejan Vraneš, traveled with Danilović and coached her although he is not her official coach.[1] In 2018-19, she was briefly coached by Petar Popović.[3] In 2017–18, her coach was Juan Lizariturry.[4] Danilović was coached in the past by Denis Bejtulahi (in 2017)[5] and Tatjana Ječmenica (in two stints – before late 2015[6] and in 2016).[7]

Playing for Serbia in Fed Cup competition, Danilović has a win/loss record of 8–6.

Personal life[]

Olga's father is Serbian former basketball player Predrag Danilović, while her mother, Svetlana (née Radošević), is a sports reporter for Radio Television of Serbia.[8]

Olga is a big fan of KK Partizan.

Tennis career[]

As a junior, Danilović posted a win/loss record of 93–33 in singles and 72–24 in doubles, and reached No. 5 in the combined junior world rankings in January 2018.

She won three Junior Grand Slam doubles titles (each on a different surface) with three different partners – 2016 French Open with Paula Arias Manjón, 2017 Wimbledon with Kaja Juvan and 2017 US Open with Marta Kostyuk.

2018: Top 100; first WTA titles; Fed Cup Heart Award[]

Danilović made her Fed Cup debut in February 2018 in Group I of Fed Cup Europe/Africa Zone, winning all three singles matches, including a 6–2, 6–4 win over world No. 15, Anastasija Sevastova, in the promotional play-offs.[9] The courageous performances for the national team earned Danilović a Fed Cup Heart Award and a cheque of $1,000 to be donated to a charity,[10] which she chose to donate to University Children's Hospital in Belgrade.[11]

In March, she won her first $25K title in Santa Margherita di Pula. In May, she was given a qualifying wildcard for the Premier Mandatory tournament in Madrid, where she beat the former top 30 player Kateryna Bondarenko in the first round, but lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the final round of qualifying. In mid-July, Danilović won the first $60K title in her career when she came back from one set down to beat another former top 30 player, Laura Siegemund, 5–7, 6–1, 6–3, in the final of Versmold. She also reached the final in doubles of the same tournament with compatriot Nina Stojanović.

In late July, she won her first career WTA Tour singles title in Moscow, defeating Anastasia Potapova in the final, in three sets. Danilović became the first player born in the third millennium (after 2000) to win a WTA tournament singles title. She also became the second lucky loser in the history of the WTA Tour to win the title.[12] This was the first WTA Tour final between two players under 18 since Tatiana Golovin and Nicole Vaidišová played in the final of the 2005 AIG Japan Open Tennis Championships.

She participated in the US Open qualifying, where she beat Bianca Andreescu, before losing to Jaimee Fourlis. She then entered the Tashkent Open, where she beat Anna Kalinskaya in the first round, before losing to Anastasia Potapova in a Moscow re-match. In the same tournament, she won the doubles title partnering Tamara Zidanšek.

On 1 October 2018, Danilović entered the top 100 for the first time when she reached a singles ranking of world No. 97. The following week, she reached her highest ranking of the season, No. 96.

In mid-October, she lost in the first round of qualifying in Linz and Luxembourg. She next participated in the WTA 125K series Mumbai Open, where she was seeded fourth and lost to Danka Kovinić in the first round, whom she also partnered with to reach the semifinals in doubles. This proved to be her last tournament of the year as she withdrew from the following week's WTA 125K Open de Limoges.

2021: Australian Open debut[]

Along with Francesca Jones, Danilović made her Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2021 Australian Open.[13] She won in the first round of the tournament where she faced Petra Martic. She was defeated in the second round by Shelby Rogers in straight sets.[14] In July, she made two back-to-back quarterfinals. First, at the Budapest Grand Prix, she won first two rounds before losing to Dalma Gálfi in the quarterfinal.[15] The following week, at the Palermo International, she lost to Zhang Shuai in the same round.[16]
