Personal life

Gadecki was born and raised on the Gold Coast where she started playing tennis at age three.[1] She attended Southport State High School throughout her teenage years.[3]

Career

2016–2020: First steps

Gadecki made her main-draw debut on the ITF Circuit in Brisbane, in September 2016.

2021: WTA Tour debut

In January 2021, Gadecki made the second round of the Australian Open qualifying.[4] Gadecki was awarded a wildcard into the Gippsland Trophy, where she made her WTA Tour main-draw debut.

In February, Gadecki won her first WTA Tour singles main-draw match at the Phillip Island Trophy.[5] She followed this up with her first top-10 win, defeating the top seed and former Australian Open champion, world No. 4, Sofia Kenin. With Gadecki's career-high ranking being No. 988 in the world, this was Kenin's worst defeat by ranking on the WTA Tour.[6] Gadecki lost in the third round.[7] The following week, she re-entered onto the WTA rankings at No. 642.[8] In May 2021, Gadecki won her first professional singles title in Turkey.[9]

In August 2021, she won the singles and doubles titles at Vigo, Spain. It was her second singles title and fifth doubles title.[10]

On 20 September 2021, Gadecki debuted in the Australian top 10 in singles and doubles rankings.[11] Gadecki ended 2021 with a single ranking of 238.

2022: Top 200

Gadecki did not enter the 2022 Australian Open due to the requirement for all played to be vaccinated against Covid-19 and her anti-vaccination stance.[12]

In April 2022, Gadecki broke into the WTA top 200 after reaching three finals from four Australian Pro Tour appearances.[13]
