Jodie Anna Burrage (born 28 May 1999) is a British tennis player. She has a career-high WTA singles ranking of 84, achieved on 4 March 2024, and a best WTA doubles ranking of 147, set on 15 January 2024. Burrage has won one doubles title on the WTA Tour and one doubles title on the WTA Challenger Tour, along with five titles in singles and five in doubles on the ITF Circuit.

Early and personal life

Burrage was born in Kingston upon Thames and grew up in Hindhead, Surrey. She was first introduced to tennis through her mother. Burrage won a scholarship to Talbot Heath School in Bournemouth, which enabled her to develop her tennis at the nearby West Hants Club. Following the completion of GCSE exams Burrage relocated to Junior Tennis Coaching (JTC) in Chiswick, London, where she was guided by former tour professionals Colin Beecher and Lucie Ahl.[3]

Professional career

2020–2021: WTA Tour and Grand Slam debut

Burrage made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2020 Linz Open, having received a wildcard into the doubles tournament, partnering Sabine Lisicki.[4] But the pair had to retire in the first set of their opening match when Lisicki suffered an injury.[5]

In January 2021, she made her WTA Tour main-draw debut in singles at the Abu Dhabi Open as a lucky loser. In June, she had her main-draw Grand Slam debut, after being handed a wildcard to the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.[6] [7] She lost in the first round to Lauren Davis.[8]

2022: First top-5 win, top 150 debut

At the Eastbourne International, she defeated top seed and world No. 4, Paula Badosa.[9] [10] [11] As a result, she made her top 150 debut in the WTA singles rankings.[12] She ended the year at a career high ranking of 126 having improved 90 places during the season.[13]

2023: Maiden tour singles final and doubles title, top 100

At the Nottingham Open, she reached her first WTA Tour quarterfinal defeating third seed Magda Linette.[14] She then defeated another Polish player, Magdalena Fręch, to reach a WTA Tour semifinal for the first time in her career.[15] Finally, she defeated Alizé Cornet to set up an all-British final with Katie Boulter, the first since 1977.[16] [17] Boulter won in straight sets.[18]

At Wimbledon, she recorded her first major win defeating Caty McNally,[19] before losing in round two to Daria Kasatkina, in straight sets.[20] As a result, she reached the top 100 in the rankings for the first time.[21]

After Wimbledon, Burrage struggled for consistency. She won a round in the Poland Open against Ankita Raina,[22] but lost in straight sets against Lucrezia Stefanini.[23] She lost in the first round of the Canadian Open to world No. 139, Marina Bassols Ribera, before a quarterfinal showing in the Stanford WTA Challenger level event, beating Diana Shnaider[24] and Kayla Day,[25] before a narrow three-set loss to Moyuka Uchijima.[26]

Burrage achieved her first main-draw win at the US Open, beating world No. 38, Anna Blinkova, in the first round,[27] [28] before falling in straight sets to world No. 2, Aryna Sabalenka.[29] [30]

She captured her maiden WTA Tour title with Jil Teichmann at the 2023 Transylvania Open, defeating Léolia Jeanjean and Valeriya Strakhova in straight sets in the final.[31]

Burrage made her debut for Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup team in November 2023 in a play-off tie with Sweden held indoors at the Copper Box Arena in London. Playing world No. 372, Kajsa Rinaldo Persson in the opening match of the contest, she raced into a 4–0 lead in the first set only to lose 12 of the next 13 games to go down to a 4–6, 1–6 defeat.[32] She was replaced by Harriet Dart for day two of the tie which Great Britain won 3–1.[33]

2024: Australian Open main-draw debut, WTA 500 quarterfinal and injury woe

Burrage made her main-draw debut at the Australian Open in January 2024 going out in the first round to Tamara Korpatsch.[34] At the Linz Open in Austria, she came through two qualifying rounds and then beat Varvara Gracheva[35] and Jaqueline Cristian[36] to reach her first WTA 500 event quarterfinal, before losing out to Jelena Ostapenko.[37]

Burrage underwent surgery having suffered an injury to her left wrist while practicing prior to her defeat in the first round of qualifying at the San Diego Open.[38] After recovering from the surgery, Burrage was set to return to action at the French Open in May for what would have been her first main-draw appearance at the clay-court event, but she was forced to pull out just days before the tournament began when she injured her ankle in practice.[39] She subsequently announced the injury would force her to miss the entire grass-court season including Wimbledon.[40]
