Five matches into 2026, the arrow points down: 2-3 overall, and a slide from a January career high of WTA No. 150 to No. 192.

April's Open de Rouen quarterfinal remains the ceiling, built on 13 of 15 service games held without an ace against Hailey Baptiste before Tatjana Maria took the opener 7-6(5).

Memphis, her last event, ran the same course: past Reese Brantmeier, then a round-of-16 exit in which she converted all three break points she earned against Katie Volynets and still lost 12 games to six, undone by eight double faults. The serve is the drift's engine: 60 percent of service games held.
