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 career WTA singles title in Moscow by beating Anastasia Potapova in the final. In September 2018, she won her first WTA doubles title, in Tashkent. She has won four singles and one doubles title on the ITF circuit in her career. On 8 October 2018, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 96. On 8 October 2018, she peaked at world No. 189 in the doubles rankings.
In 2018, Danilović's coach became former world No. 2 Àlex Corretja,[2] having been her mentor since 2016.[3] 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.[2] In 2017–18 her coach was Juan Lizariturry.[1] Danilović was coached in the past by Denis Bejtulahi (in 2017)[4] and Tatjana Ječmenica (in two stints – before late 2015[5] and in 2016).[6]
Playing for Serbia in the Fed Cup, Danilović has a win–loss record of 3–3.
Tennis career
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.[7] 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,[8] which she chose to donate to University Children's Hospital in Belgrade.[9]
In July, she won her first career WTA singles title in Moscow, defeating Anastasia Potapova in the final, 7–5, 6–7(1–7), 6–4. Danilović became the first player born in the 3rd millennium (after 2000) to win a WTA Tour singles title. She also became the second lucky loser in the history of the WTA Tour to win the title.[10] 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 then participated in the 2018 US Open Qualification, where she beat Bianca Andreescu before losing to Jaimee Fourlis. She then entered the 2018 Tashkent Open where she beat Russian Anna Kalinskaya before losing to another Russian, Anastasia Potapova in a Moscow rematch. In the same tournament, she won the doubles title partnering Tamara Zidanšek.
On 1 October 2018, she entered the top 100 for the first time when she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 97.
In Linz and Luxembourg qualifying, she lost to Tereza Smitkova and Jessika Ponchet respectively.
