Luisa Veras Stefani (born 9 August 1997) is a Brazilian tennis player.
On 21 September 2020, she peaked at No. 33 in the WTA doubles rankings. On 20 May 2019, she set her career-high singles ranking of world No. 431. Stefani achieved a career-high junior ranking of No. 10, on 30 March 2015.
Career
Stefani made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2015 Brasil Tennis Cup where she received a singles main-draw wild card. She currently attends Pepperdine University and has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the ITA rankings. She also was named the 2015 ITA National Rookie of the Year and compiled a 40–6 record in her freshman season. Her biggest career college achievement is reaching the semifinals of the 2015 NCAA Singles Championships, where she lost to eventual champion Danielle Collins. Her Grand Slam main-draw debut was at 2019 French Open, partnering Australian Astra Sharma in doubles.
In September 2019, with Hayley Carter as partner, she reached the first WTA doubles final at the Korea Open and, the following week, won the first WTA title at the Tashkent Open. With these campaigns, she enters the top 100 and reaches the best career ranking in doubles, 75th. place on October 21st. Thereafter, Stefani establishes a fixed partnership with Hayley Carter.
In 2020, the Stefani/Carter duo reaches the Australian Open third round, wins the Oracle Challenger Series in Newport and reaches the Dubai quarterfinals in February, and wins the Lexington Open in August. With that, they enter the world's top 40 for the first time.[1][2]
At the 2020 US Open in September, she did her best Grand Slams campaign in her career, reaching the quarterfinals, defeating the tournament's No. 6 seed in the round of 16. It has been 38 years since female doublers in Brazil have gone so far in a Grand Slam tournament (the last time that Brazilians were in the quarterfinals was in Wimbledon, in 1982: Patricia Medrado and Claudia Monteiro).[3] At the 2020 Italian Open, she makes another great tournament, reaching the semifinals and losing only to the top-seeded double.[4]
