Polina Kudermetova is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young names in women’s tennis. The Russian player has already broken into the world’s top 60, showing she has the talent and grit to go far on the WTA Tour.

Her rise began in 2023 when she made her Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open and picked up her first main-draw win on tour. By 2024, she was reaching semifinals, making deep runs in WTA events, and steadily climbing the rankings. She also showed she could shine in doubles, reaching a WTA 125 final alongside Alina Korneeva.

The big breakthrough came in 2025 at the Brisbane International. Kudermetova battled her way past top seeds, even scoring her first win over a top-10 player, before falling to world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final. That run pushed her into the top 100 for the first time, cementing her reputation as a rising star to watch.
