Kate Makarova

Kate Makarova's lefty serve carried her furthest in New York and Melbourne, back to back majors where nobody else in the draw stood between her and the final. At the 2014 US Open she beat Victoria Azarenka to reach the semifinal, where top seed Serena Williams stopped her. Five months later she routed Simona Halep 6-4, 6-0 in 69 minutes at the Australian Open, only to run into Maria Sharapova at the same stage. Those two semifinals, three months apart, lifted her to a career-high No. 8 in April 2015 at 26.

Doubles is where the trophies piled up, all with Elena Vesnina: Roland Garros in 2013, the US Open in 2014, Wimbledon in 2017, and Olympic gold in Rio in 2016 over Martina Hingis and Timea Bacsinszky, 6-4, 6-4. The pair reached world No. 1 together in June 2018. Makarova retired in January 2020 at 31, her 3 career titles a modest tally next to the doubles resume she built alongside Vesnina.
