Gabriela Dabrowski: Canada's Tennis Star
Early Life and Junior Success
Gaby Dabrowski grew up in Ottawa, Canada. Her family has Polish roots, and she can speak English, French, and Polish. She started playing tennis at a young age, entering her first tournament when she was just eight years old. Her first big win was at a provincial tournament for kids under 10 when she was nine. As a teenager, Gaby decided to train at the Saddlebrook Academies in Tampa to improve her game.
Gaby's tennis journey began with great success in junior tournaments. In 2006, she became the first Canadian to win Les Petits As, a very important tournament for players under 14. She also won the Junior Orange Bowl in 2009.
Becoming a Professional Player
Gaby turned professional in 2011. She quickly started reaching finals in smaller professional tournaments. In 2013, she played in her first WTA Tour doubles final in Brussels. She continued to improve, and in 2014, she won her first WTA doubles title at the Washington Open with her partner Shuko Aoyama. That same year, she also won her first professional singles title.
Winning Medals and Major Titles
In 2015, Gaby proudly represented Canada at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. She won a gold medal in women's doubles with Carol Zhao and a silver medal in mixed doubles with Philip Bester. Her first Olympic experience was at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, where she reached the second round in women's doubles.
A big moment came in 2017 when Gaby won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open in mixed doubles with Rohan Bopanna. This made her the first Canadian woman to win a major title! She continued her success, winning another Grand Slam mixed doubles title at the Australian Open with Mate Pavić. After this, she entered the top 10 in the world doubles rankings, reaching No. 8.
Reaching Grand Slam Finals
In 2019, Gaby and her partner Xu Yifan reached the final of Wimbledon in women's doubles, a huge achievement. They also made it to the semifinals of the Canadian Open and the quarterfinals of the US Open.
Continued Success and Top Rankings
Gaby kept achieving great things. In 2021, she won her third WTA 1000 title and first with Luisa Stefani at the Canadian Open. She reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 5 in doubles, becoming the highest-ranked Canadian woman in this category.
In 2022, partnering with Giuliana Olmos, Gaby won her first WTA 1000 title together at the Madrid Open. She reached a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 4 on July 11, 2022. Later that year, she reunited with Luisa Stefani to win the Chennai Open and then won the Pan Pacific Open with Giuliana Olmos.
US Open Champion and Billie Jean King Cup Victory
The year 2023 was very special for Gaby. Partnering with Erin Routliffe, she won her first women's doubles Grand Slam title at the US Open. This incredible win brought her back into the top 10, at world No. 9.
Gaby also played a key role in Team Canada's historic victory at the Billie Jean King Cup finals in November 2023. She won all three of her doubles matches, helping Canada win the competition for the first time ever!
More Finals and a WTA Finals Title
In 2024, Gaby and Erin Routliffe continued their strong partnership. They reached a second WTA 1000 final at the Miami Open and won the Nottingham Open. They also made it to their second Wimbledon final together. On July 15, 2024, Gaby reached a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 3. Later that year, Gaby and Routliffe won their first WTA Finals title, making Gaby the first Canadian to achieve this.
In 2025, Gaby and Erin Routliffe continued their success. They reached the semifinals of the Australian Open. In April, they won the doubles title at the Stuttgart Open. In August, they secured their first WTA 1000 title as a team at the Cincinnati Open. The following month, they won their second US Open title together, showing their amazing teamwork.
Playing for Teams
Gaby also played in World TeamTennis, a league where teams compete. She played as a wildcard for the Philadelphia Freedoms and later as a roster player for the Orange County Breakers.
Gaby's Personal Journey
In December 2024, Gaby shared that she faced a health challenge earlier that year. She took a three-month break from tennis for treatment, including two surgeries. She bravely overcame this challenge and returned to play, sharing her story to encourage early health checks and remind everyone that "early detection saves lives."
