Anna Tatishvili (Georgian: ანა ტატიშვილი|tr, in Georgian pronounced as /ana tʼatʼiʃʷili/; born February 3, 1990) is a Georgian-American[1] former professional tennis player.

In her career, Tatishvili won one doubles title on the WTA Tour, 2014 at the Linz Open, partnering with Raluca Olaru. She also won eleven singles and eight doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 8 October 2012, she reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 50. On 21 May 2012, she peaked at No. 59 in the doubles rankings.

Her biggest achievement was a fourth-round appearance at the 2012 US Open, in which she was defeated by then-world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, in straight sets.

At the 2015 US Open, Tatishvili soared through the qualifiers to face the world No. 8, Karolína Plíšková, in the first round of the main draw. Using her aggressive returns and dominant ground strokes, Tatishvili defeated the eighth seed in just 51 minutes.

Competing for Georgia Fed Cup team, Tatishvili has a win–loss record of 10–3.

She announced her retirement from tennis on 26 March 2020, citing recurring injuries.[2]
