# Jodie Burrage

Jodie Anna Burrage (born 28 May 1999) is a British professional tennis player. She has a career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 85, achieved on 11 September 2023, and a best doubles ranking of No. 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 six titles in singles and six 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.

## 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. But the pair had to retire in the first set of their opening match when Lisicki suffered an injury.
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. She lost in the first round to Lauren Davis.

### 2022: First top-5 win, top 150 debut

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

### 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. She then defeated another Polish player, Magdalena Fręch, to reach a WTA Tour semifinal for the first time in her career. Finally, she defeated Alizé Cornet to set up an all-British final with Katie Boulter, the first since 1977. Boulter won in straight sets.
At Wimbledon, she recorded her first major win defeating Caty McNally, before losing in round two to Daria Kasatkina, in straight sets. As a result, she reached the top 100 in the rankings for the first time.
Burrage won a round in the Poland Open against Ankita Raina, but lost in straight sets against Lucrezia Stefanini. She reached the quarterfinals at the Stanford WTA Challenger, beating Diana Shnaider and Kayla Day, before a narrow three-set loss to Moyuka Uchijima. At the same event, she won her first Challenger doubles title partnering Olivia Gadecki.
She achieved her first main-draw win at the US Open, defeating world No. 38, Anna Blinkova, before falling in straight sets to world No. 2, Aryna Sabalenka in the second round.
Burrage captured her maiden WTA Tour title winning the doubles with Jil Teichmann at the 2023 Transylvania Open, defeating Léolia Jeanjean and Valeriya Strakhova in straight sets in the final.
She 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. She was replaced by Harriet Dart for day two of the tie which Great Britain won 3–1.

### 2024: Australian Open debut, WTA 500 quarterfinal, injury woe

Burrage made her main-draw debut at the Australian Open in January 2024 going out in the first round to Tamara Korpatsch. At the Linz Open in Austria, she came through two qualifying rounds and then beat Varvara Gracheva and Jaqueline Cristian to reach her first WTA 500 event quarterfinal, before losing out to Jelena Ostapenko.
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. 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. She subsequently announced the injury would force her to miss the entire grass-court season including Wimbledon.
Having missed six months of the season, Burrage returned to the competitive court in September in the qualifying stages at the Jasmin Open in Tunisia, winning her first match against Lina Soussi in straight sets. Partnering with Anastasia Tikhonova, Burrage won the doubles title at her second comeback tournament, the W100 Caldas da Rainha Ladies Open in Portugal, defeating third seeds Francisca Jorge and Matilde Jorge in straight sets in the final. Alongside Freya Christie, she won the doubles title at the W75 Glasgow in October, also reaching the singles semifinals at the event.
In December, Burrage reached her first singles final of the year at the W75 Trnava, losing to top seed Tatjana Maria. The following week, having received a wildcard entry, she went one step better, winning the biggest title of her career to date at the W100 Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge in Dubai, defeating top seed Polina Kudermetova in the final. As a result, Burrage re-entered the WTA rankings top-200, gaining 59 places to world No. 179 on 9 December 2024.

### 2025: Australian Open first win

Burrage started her 2025 season at the Auckland Open where she entered the main draw as a lucky loser and defeated wildcard entrant Vivian Yang in the first round, before losing her next match to Hailey Baptiste in a deciding set tiebreak.
Using her protected ranking to gain entry into the main draw at the Australian Open, she defeated qualifier Léolia Jeanjean to reach the second round, where she lost to third seed Coco Gauff.
In February, again using her protected ranking, Burrage entered the ATX Open, defeating Petra Kvitová in the first round, before losing to Ajla Tomljanović.
