Bernarda Pera (/bərˈnɑːrdə ˈpɛrə/ bər-NAR-də PERR-ə;[1] Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [běrnaːrda pêra];[2][3] born 3 December 1994) is a Croatian-born American tennis player. Pera has won two singles titles and one doubles title on the WTA Tour, along with nine singles and eight doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. She achieved career-high rankings of world No. 43 in singles on September 19, 2022, and No. 35 in doubles on February 21, 2022.

Early life

Bernarda was born in a Croatian-Dalmatian Italian family. Besides English, she speaks Croatian as well. When she was 16, her father, who is a U.S. citizen, moved their family to the United States for the benefit of her budding tennis career. They settled in New Jersey, where it wasn’t hard for them to adjust because they already had friends and relatives there. Pera has been in a relationship with Croatian basketball player Kristijan Krajina since 2018.[4]

2022: First WTA titles, career-high rankings

Pera won her first WTA Tour title in doubles, at the Melbourne Summer Set 2, alongside Kateřina Siniaková.[42] As a result, she reached world No. 35 in doubles on 21 February 2022.

Coming into the Budapest Grand Prix, Pera had only won two out of seven main-draw matches in 2022, was on a five-match losing streak, and had to play in qualifying once again due to being ranked No. 130 in the world. However, she defeated Marina Bassols Ribera, fifth seed Aliaksandra Sasnovich,[43] Elisabetta Cocciaretto, and ninth seed Anna Bondar[44] to reach her first WTA Tour singles final in her career as a qualifier. She then defeated Aleksandra Krunić to win her maiden WTA tournament singles title.[45] As a result, she returned to the top 100 in the singles rankings.

She reached a second consecutive final at the Hamburg European Open by beating the defending champion Elena Ruse, and Joanne Züger, Kateřina Siniaková, and Maryna Zanevska. She then defeated top seed and world No. 2, Anett Kontaveit, in the final, for her second career top-10 win and her second WTA singles title, stretching her winning streak to 12 matches and 24 consecutive sets.[46] Pera also became the first American woman to win multiple clay-court titles in the same season since Serena Williams won five in 2013. With this result, she climbed to a new career-high singles ranking of No. 54. On 26 August, she reached semifinals of Cleveland where she lost to Liudmila Samsonova, in straight sets. Along the way, she defeated Barbora Krejčíková and Sofia Kenin, both former winners of major titles.
