Early life and background

Her great-uncle Vicente Zarazúa, a Mexican pro tennis player, participated in 16 Davis Cup ties for Mexico and claimed gold medals in exhibition doubles at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.[2][3] During an interview at the 2020 French Open, Zarazúa stated that Simona Halep is the player she admires the most.[4]

Tennis career

In February 2018 at the Mexican Open, she defeated Kristýna Plíšková to reach the round of 16.

In late February 2020, Zarazúa received a wildcard to play at the Mexican Open in Acapulco, where she reached her first WTA singles semifinal. In the first round, she upset top-seeded Sloane Stephens.

In September 2020, she qualified for the main draw of the French Open, her first appearance at a Grand Slam tournament. Zarazúa was the first Mexican woman in a Grand Slam main draw in 20 years.[5] She lost in the second round to third-seeded Elina Svitolina.

In 2021, Zarazúa qualified for the first time for the Olympic Games in singles and in doubles partnering Giuliana Olmos both making their Olympics debut.

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 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.
