Katrina Scott is an American professional tennis player. She was considered one of the top talents in the country, making a great junior career. She reached her highest WTA singles ranking of No 153 on January 15, 2023.
Katrina Safavinia Scott was born on June 11, 2004, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, United States. She started in tennis as a kid and quickly showed great talent. Already in 2014, she reached the semi-finals of the USTA Regional Tournament Segment in Las Vegas, while in 2015, she reached the quarter-finals of the National Clay Court Championships, won the title at the USTA National Level 2 Tournament, and finished as a runner-up at the USTA National Winter Championships. In 2016, Katrina Scott reached the finals at the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championships and Junior Orange Bowl, but in 2017 she succeeded in winning the title at the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championships. In 2019, she reached the semi-finals of the USTA National Championships and the quarter-finals of the US Open.
Katrina Scott made her professional tennis debut in 2018 at the $15,000 Hilton Head Island, SC, reaching the second round.
In 2019, she continued playing in the junior and professional tours and at the end of the season played in the semi-finals of the $25,000 W25 Malibu, CA.
Katrina Scott debuted at the top-level tournament in 2020, playing in the main scheme of the US Open. She reached the second round, losing to her compatriot Amanda Anisimova. This was the only tournament she played during the short season, which seriously disturbed her form.
In 2021, she failed to find her way back to professional tennis, although playing in the main scheme of the WTA 1000 Miami Open. During the Summer, she succeeded in reaching the semi-finals of the $25,000 W25 Evansville, IN, as well as the quarter-finals of the WTA 125 Thoreau Tennis Open and WTA 125 Dow Tennis Classic.
In 2022, Katrina Scott started the season strongly at the ITF Circuit, winning her first professional title at the $25,000 W25 Daytona Beach, FL. By the end of the season, she won two more ITF titles at the $25,000 W25 Columbus, OH, and $25,000 W25 Dallas, TX, but also played in the final of the $80,000 W80 Rancho Santa Fe, CA.
In 2023, Katrina Scott lost the pace in her performance again. She started the season, by reaching the second round of the WTA 125 San Luis Potosi Open and the quarter-finals of the $25,000 W25 Boca Raton, FL. However, by the end of the season, she failed to find her way ahead, and during the next tournaments, she hardly overcame the first round.
Katrina Scott was one of the most talented American tennis players, starting equally with some of the top players. Even losing pace in the next years, maybe 2024 will be her season to show her skills and abilities.
