Peyton Mckenzie Stearns (born October 8, 2001) is an American professional tennis player. A former player at the University of Texas at Austin, Stearns turned professional in 2022. She has been ranked by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) as high as world No. 56 in singles and has also reached a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 152, both of which she attained in June 2023.

In spring 2022, Stearns became the first Texas player to become the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion in women's tennis and soon elected to turn professional later that year. In her first full season on tour in 2023, Stearns earned her top 100 debut in April after reaching her first WTA Tour quarterfinal at the inaugural ATX Open in March before going on to contend for her first WTA title at the Copa Colsanitas the following month. She has won five singles titles and two doubles titles on the ITF Tour.

College career

Stearns played two seasons of college tennis at the University of Texas at Austin,[2] where she became the first Texas player[3] to win the NCAA Division I Women’s Singles National Championship in spring 2022. She has cited the success of fellow American Danielle Collins as inspiration for helping her decide to attend college before eventually turning professional, which she elected to do in June 2022.[1][4]

Professional career

2021–2022: WTA Tour and major debuts

Stearns made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2021 Silicon Valley Classic, where she received entry as an alternate into the doubles main draw. She made her major debut as a wildcard at the 2022 US Open.[5]

2023: First WTA Tour final, top 100 breakthrough

At the inaugural Texas Open, Stearns earned her first WTA win as a wildcard over qualifier Katie Boulter in a three-hour marathon.[6] Next, she defeated fellow wildcard Mirjam Björklund to reach her first WTA Tour quarterfinal, where she lost to Katie Volynets in straight sets.[7][8] The following week, she made her main-draw debut at a WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells as a wildcard and overcame a set deficit to defeat Rebeka Masarova in the first round, before succumbing to Bianca Andreescu from a set up in the next round.[1][9]

Stearns reached her first WTA Tour singles final at the Copa Colsanitas, after defeating Rosa Vicens Mas, Elina Avanesyan, 2021 French Open semifinalist Tamara Zidanšek, and Kamilla Rakhimova.[10] Though she fell in three sets to defending champion Tatjana Maria in the championship match, her results at the tournament propelled her into the top 100 for the first time, at world No. 89, on April 10.[11][12] This also ensured Stearns a direct entry into the main draw of the 2023 French Open. Later that month, she reached the final of the ITF 100K Charleston, losing to compatriot Emma Navarro in three sets.

In Rabat, Stearns defeated Panna Udvardy and Leylah Fernandez to reach her third WTA quarterfinal. She lost to Sloane Stephens in a third-set tiebreak, despite holding three match points. Entering the French Open as world No. 69, Stearns recorded her first top-50 win, defeating No. 49 Kateřina Siniaková. She immediately followed that up with her first top-20 win, defeating former champion and 17th seed Jeļena Ostapenko in three sets. She will face 9th seed Daria Kasatkina in the third round.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies 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.
