Timofeeva won her first WTA Tour title on her tour debut at the Budapest Grand Prix in July 2023, defeating Kateryna Baindl in three sets in the final.[2] She became only the fourth lucky loser in WTA history to win a singles title and the ninth player to win a title on her tour debut; she was the second to do both at once, following Olga Danilovic at the 2018 Moscow River Cup.[3] As a result she reached the top 125 in the rankings on 11 September 2023.
Ranked No. 170, she qualified for the 2024 Australian Open making her Grand Slam debut.[4][5] She defeated Alize Cornet, former Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki [6][7] and tenth seed Beatriz Haddad Maia to advance to her first fourth round on her Major debut. She reached the top 100 on 29 January 2024, moving up 70 positions.[8]
Personal life[edit]
At the 2023 US Open, Timofeeva began a vlogging YouTube channel, Kiss My Ace, alongside friend and tennis player Ekaterina Kazionova, inspired by the vlog of Daria Kasatkina.[3]
