She reached a best singles ranking of world No. 95 on 17 June 2024, and she peaked at No. 135 in the doubles rankings on 8 October 2018. She has won one singles and one doubles titles on the WTA Challenger Tour. On the ITF Circuit, she has won four titles in singles and seventeen in doubles. On the WTA Tour, her biggest result to date was reaching the semifinals of the 2020 Mexican Open. In 2020, she qualified for the main draw of the French Open, her major debut. She was the first Mexican female tennis player to compete in the main draw of a Grand Slam championship since 2000.[1]
Playing for Mexico, Zarazúa has a win–loss record of 15–12 in BJK Cup competition (as of August 2024).
Early life and background
Zarazúa was born on 30 September 1997 to Jose Luis and Alejandra in Mexico City. She also has an older brother named Patricio, who is a former college tennis player for Palm Beach Atlantic University. Her great-uncle Vicente Zarazúa, a Mexican pro tennis player, participated in 16 Davis Cup ties for Mexico and claimed gold medals in exhibition doubles at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.[2][3] During an interview at the 2020 French Open, Zarazúa stated that Simona Halep is the player she admires the most.[4]
Career
2016-2019: Tour debut
Zarazúa made her WTA Tour singles debut at the 2016 Brasil Cup, after she reached the main draw through qualifying.
In February 2018 at the Mexican Open, she defeated Kristýna Plíšková to reach the round of 16.
2020: WTA Tour semifinal, major debut
In late February 2020, Zarazúa received a wildcard to play again at the Mexican Open in Acapulco, where she reached her first WTA Tour singles semifinal. In the first round, she upset top-seeded Sloane Stephens. She became the first Mexican woman to play a tour semifinal since 1993.[5]
In September 2020, she qualified for the main draw of the French Open, her first appearance at a Grand Slam tournament. Zarazúa was the first Mexican woman in a main draw of a major in 20 years.[6] She lost in the second round to third seed Elina Svitolina.
2021-2024: Olympics, Wimbledon and US Open debuts, WTA 125 title, top 100
In 2021, she qualified for the Olympic Games in singles and in doubles, partnering Giuliana Olmos both making their Olympics debut.
She won her first WTA 125 title at the 2023 Montevideo Open defeating the top seed, Diane Parry, in the final.[7]
She reached the top 100 on 8 January 2024, and became the second Mexican player after Angelica Gavaldon in 1996, to reach the milestone.[8][9] The following week, she qualified for the 2024 Australian Open making her debut, becoming just the second Mexican woman to reach the Australian Open main draw in the Open Era, and first since two-time quarterfinalist Angelica Gavaldon's final appearance in 2000.[10]
She qualified for the Italian Open defeating sixth qualifying seed Viktoriya Tomova and making her debut at a clay WTA 1000 tournament.
At Wimbledon, she went out in the final qualifying round but made the main draw for the first time in her career at this major as a lucky loser, losing to Emma Raducanu in straight sets on her debut.[11]
She also made her debut at the US Open as a direct entry benefitting from the withdrawal of Sorana Cîrstea.[12]

Notes
- ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
