2022: Finding success in the Mediterranean

Following the sweet high of the previous year, Janicijevic started her year in the courts of Egypt which brought her the 15k title in Giza in the very last week of 2021. In the span of three weeks, she would score two semifinals showing in the first two 15k in Giza and Cairo, stopped only by Sapfo Sakellaridi in both tournaments and a surprise championship win in the 25k in Cairo which included a win over former doubles World No.1, Timea Babos. This title was followed by another in February, this time a 15k in Antalya over Angelica Moratelli. However, she would lose the two consequent tournaments on the Turkish clay, one ending in retirement. She did not play for a few weeks after this before returning to the European ITFs where she found minimum success.
