She made her WTA 1000 debut at the Dubai Championships after qualifying. Also on her debut, she entered the WTA 1000 2023 Miami Open main draw as a lucky loser directly into the second round replacing top seed Iga Swiatek.

She entered the main draw at the WTA 500 Charleston Open, replacing Jelena Ostapenko, and reached the third round defeating tenth seed Zhang Shuai, her first top-30 win, and qualifier Sachia Vickery. As a result, she moved to a new career-high ranking into the top 80 in the singles rankings.

At the 2023 Mutua Madrid Open she won her first WTA 1000 level match as a lucky loser defeating another lucky loser Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova.

Notes
  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.
