Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 4 December 2024 | Matt Trollope

Year in review

One of the brightest emerging stars in Australian women’s tennis, Gadecki enjoyed an incredible breakthrough season in 2024.

Her year truly got going when she hit the grass courts, beginning with her run to the semifinals of the ITF 100 tournament in Surbiton. She subsequently qualified for Wimbledon, and from June to September won 23 of her 32 matches.

Her biggest result was advancing to her first WTA singles final in Guadalajara in September – a result that catapulted her inside the world’s top 100, and made her Australia’s highest-ranked woman in singles.

She hit a career-high ranking of world No.83 in October, having been ranked 172nd just two months earlier. This improvement allowed her to change her schedule and compete for the first time in the WTA’s Asian swing.

Gadecki won almost 40 singles matches in 2024 across all levels and also excelled in doubles, winning her first WTA title in Austin alongside Brit Olivia Nicholls to peak at world No.64.

She made her Olympic debut at the Paris 2024 Games, representing Australia in both singles and doubles.
