CAREER
In 2010, Anastasija Sevastova became the first Latvian tennis player to win a WTA title in 17 years when she achieved victory at the Estoril Open in Oeiras, Portugal. She took a short break from the tour in 2013 due to injuries, but made a strong return to the court two years later.

After returning to the tour, she earned four singles titles and three doubles titles at ITF tournaments. In 2016, she reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the US Open and also advanced to the finals at the Bucharest Open and Mallorca Open.
