She has won six doubles titles on the WTA Tour. With her partner Desirae Krawczyk, she became the first Mexican player in the Open Era to reach a WTA Tour final, at the 2018 Monterrey Open.[1] In 2019, she became the first Mexican player to win a title on WTA Tour, taking the doubles crown at the Nottingham Open. In 2020, she became the first Mexican woman to win the Mexican Open, also with Krawczyk.[2] And at last in 2022, she became the first Mexican woman to enter the top 10 in the WTA rankings in either singles or doubles.[3] She has a best singles ranking of world No. 343, achieved on 4 March 2019, and has won four singles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.

Early life

Olmos is the daughter of a Mexican man and a Mexican-Austrian woman, who was born in the Austrian city of Schwarzach im Pongau, and moved to Fremont, California at the age of two. Along with her two younger sisters she was taken to events attended by Mexican sportswomen, like golfer Lorena Ochoa and tennis player Melissa Torres Sandoval.[2] Olmos started playing tennis at the age of four, and decided she wanted to be a professional player at eleven.[4] Holding citizenship for three countries, she played for the United States in junior and ITF tournaments and ranked second among American players until the age of 16, when she accepted an offer to represent Mexico, who would sponsor her, pay for travel expenses and give her a spot in the Junior Fed Cup and Fed Cup teams. While attending the University of Southern California, majoring in international relations and minoring in occupational therapy, Olmos took part in two editions of the Summer Universiade, in 2013 and 2015.[5] [2] [6]

Career

2018–20: Breakthrough, historic maiden WTA Tour title in doubles

After graduating from the USC, where she learned she was a better doubles player, Olmos became the first Mexican player in the Open Era to reach a WTA Tour final at the 2018 Monterrey Open, partnering Desirae Krawczyk.One year later, also alongside Krawczyk, Olmos was the first Mexican champion of a WTA Tour tournament at the 2019 Nottingham Open.[6] In 2020, she also became the first Mexican woman to win the Mexican Open in Acapulco alongside Krawczyk.[7]

2021: Mixed doubles final, WTA 1000 title, Olympics, top 25 & WTA Finals debuts

In February, Olmos and Canadian player Sharon Fichman reached their first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open, and in April she partnered with another Canadian, Gabriela Dabrowski, to reach the semifinals of another WTA-1000 tournament at the Miami Open.

In May, Olmos won the biggest title in her tennis career at the WTA 1000 Italian Open, partnering with Fichman; in the final, they defeated the pair of Kristina Mladenovic and Markéta Vondroušová who were making their debut playing together. They entered the tournament as alternates and defeated top seeds Hsieh/Mertens and the Japanese fourth-seeded duo Aoyama/Shibahara en route to the championship match.[8] [9] As a result, she entered the top 30 in doubles for the first time in her career.

Also in 2021, Olmos qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, partnering Renata Zarazúa, both making their Olympics debut, and being the first Mexican woman to play Olympic tennis since Angélica Gavaldón in 1996.[10]

At the US Open, Olmos partnered Marcelo Arévalo in the mixed doubles draw and reached the final by defeating top seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ivan Dodig en-route.[11] They lost to second-seeded pair, Desirae Krawczyk and Joe Salisbury, in straight sets. Olmos became the first Mexican to reach a major final since Santiago González made the men's doubles final (with American Donald Young) at Roland Garros in 2017.[12] Olmos and Fichman ended up playing the 2021 WTA Finals in front of her home crowd in Guadalajara.[6]

2022: New partnership & first WTA 1000 title with Dabrowski, historic top 10

Olmos started to play the 2022 season with Dabrowski, with whom she had played the 2021 Miami Open.[13] Seeded second, they went on to win their first Masters tournament together at the Madrid Open.[14] As a result, she reached a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 11, on 9 May 2022. Olmos and Dabrowski followed that by also reaching the final of the Italian Open.[15]

She made the top 10 on 12 September 2022, at world No. 8, after reaching the quarterfinals at the US Open with Dabrowski,[16] becoming the first ever Mexican woman to be ranked inside the WTA top 10 in either singles or doubles.At the Pan Pacific Open, she won her second team title with Dabrowski, without losing a single set.[17] Following this run, she achieved another career-high of world No. 7, on 26 September 2022, and qualified for the 2022 WTA Finals with Dabrowski in their first appearance as a team.[18]

2023: World No. 6, fourth WTA 1000 final

At the Charleston Open, as the top seeded pair with Ena Shibahara, they finished runners-up.[19] As a result, she reached a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 6, on 10 April.

She also reached her fourth WTA 1000 final with Chan Hao-ching at the China Open.

2024: Historic Wimbledon mixed doubles final

Partnering with Chan Hao-ching, Olmos won the doubles title at the Hobart International in January.[20]

She reached a second mixed doubles final at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships with compatriot Santiago González. They became the first Mexican duo to reach the mixed doubles final at Wimbledon. Olmos became the first Mexican woman since Yola Ramírez in 1959 to reach the semifinals, and the first in the Open Era to reach the final of the same event at the All England Club.[21] [22] However, they lost in straight sets to Jan Zieliński and Hsieh Su-wei.[23]

Partnering with Alexandra Panova, Olmos was runner-up in the doubles at the Monterrey Open, losing to Guo Hanyu and Monica Niculescu in final.[24]
