Early life and background

Zarazúa was born on 30 September 1997 to Jose Luis and Alejandra in Mexico City. She also has an older brother named Patricio, who is a former college tennis player for Palm Beach Atlantic University. Her great-uncle Vicente Zarazúa, a Mexican pro tennis player, participated in 16 Davis Cup ties for Mexico and claimed gold medals in exhibition doubles at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.[2][3] During an interview at the 2020 French Open, Zarazúa stated that Simona Halep is the player she admires the most.[4]

Tennis career

In February 2018 at the Mexican Open, she defeated Kristýna Plíšková to reach the round of 16.

In late February 2020, Zarazúa received a wildcard to play again at the Mexican Open in Acapulco, where she reached her first WTA Tour singles semifinal. In the first round, she upset top-seeded Sloane Stephens.

In September 2020, she qualified for the main draw of the French Open, her first appearance at a Grand Slam tournament. Zarazúa was the first Mexican woman in a main draw of a major in 20 years.[5] She lost in the second round to third-seeded Elina Svitolina.

In 2021, she qualified for the Olympic Games in singles and in doubles, partnering Giuliana Olmos both making their Olympics debut.

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. The $10,000 tournaments were reclassified as $15,000 in 2017. However, there were some $15,000 even before 2017.
  3. The $50,000 tournaments were reclassified as $60,000 in 2017.
