Andreja Klepač (born 13 March 1986) is a Slovenian former tennis player. On 14 July 2008, she reached her career-high singles rankings of world No. 99. On 11 April 2022, she peaked at No. 11 in the WTA doubles rankings. She qualified also with Darija Jurak for the 2021 WTA Finals after nearly 20 years on the professional tour.[1]
Career
[edit]Klepač has made one WTA Tour singles final in Budapest in 2008. She won eleven WTA Tour doubles titles and appeared in twelve other finals.[2][3][4][5]
In July 2013, she won her first WTA Tour doubles title in Bad Gastein with Sandra Klemenschits.[6]
In 2015, Klepač reached quarterfinals at the Australian Open with Klaudia Jans-Ignacik and US Open[7][8] with Lara Arruabarrena.[9]
In 2017, together with María José Martínez Sánchez, she reached her third consecutive quarterfinal at the US Open. In 2018, they also reached three finals, defeating en route top pairs Latisha Chan/Andrea Sestini Hlaváčková (Brisbane) and Tímea Babos/Kristina Mladenovic (Doha). They lost two tie-breakers in the semifinal of the Madrid Open against Ekaterina Makarova/Elena Vesnina.
Klepač also appeared in the quarterfinals of the 2018 French Open, and the 2019 Australian Open, partnering with Martínez Sánchez, and of the 2021 French Open, alongside Croatian Darija Jurak.
World TeamTennis
[edit]Klepač has played four seasons with World TeamTennis starting in 2016 when she debuted in the league with the Washington Kastles. In 2017, she played her first season for the Orange County Breakers and was named the Female MVP of the 2017 World TeamTennis Finals after leading the Breakers to the title. She played for Breakers for the 2018 and 2019 seasons as well.
It was announced that she would join the Orange County Breakers during the 2020 WTT season set to begin July 12[10] but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
