In 2022, Naef won a prestigious tournament for juniors, the Trofeo Bonfiglio (Grade A).[2] In 2022, Naef reached the final of the French Open, partnering Nikola Bartůňková.[3] In July 2022, she played in the final of the European Youth Championship held in Klosters, Switzerland which she lost to Victoria Jiménez Kasintseva.[4]

Naef played and won her first final in Monastir, Tunisia, in March 2022.[5] In October 2022, she became champion in both singles and doubles in Reims, France.[6] A week later, she won another singles title in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin defeating Spanish player Irene Burillo Escorihuela in the final.[7]

Naef started the season with a title in Loughborough, England where she became the champion by defeating British Eliz Maloney in the final.[8] In February, Naef played her first $40k tournament finals, and became the champion in both singles and doubles in Porto, Portugal.[9]

The 17 years old made her WTA Tour debut as a wildcard at the 2023 Rosmalen Open in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands[10] and recorded her first tour-level win at the grass court event, defeating 42 years old wildcard Venus Williams.[11] Next, she upset eighth-seeded Caty McNally for her second WTA Tour win, before losing to top-seeded Veronika Kudermetova in the quarterfinals.[12] She made her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon after qualifying.[13][14]

Notes

[edit]
  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.
