2019-2022: WTA Tour, WTA 1000 and major debuts and first wins

Baptiste made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at her hometown tournament, the 2019 Washington Open and defeated Grand Slam finalist and former top-ten player, Madison Keys.

She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2020 US Open as a wildcard.

She made her WTA 1000 debut at the 2021 Miami Open after reaching the main draw having received a wildcard for the qualifying competition.

On her debut at the 2021 French Open, she qualified for the main draw and recorded her first win at a major over Anna Blinkova.

2023-2024: First WTA 500 & 1000 wins, top 100

She received a wildcard for the main draw at the 2023 Miami Open.

At the WTA 1000 2023 Guadalajara Open, she defeated wildcard player Lya Isabel Fernández Olivares and 16th seed Karolína Plíšková for the second time in the season having prevailed also earlier at the 2023 Washington Open, to reach the third round of a WTA 1000 for the first time.

Following her first round main-draw win as a qualifier at the 2024 Indian Wells Open over fellow American qualifier Robin Montgomery, she reached the top 100 in the rankings on 18 March 2024. She received a wildcard for the main draw at the Miami Open.

At the 2024 French Open, she entered the main draw as a lucky loser and defeated Kayla Day for her second win at this major.

At the WTA 500 Korea Open, she defeated compatriot Sloane Stephens in straight sets. At the WTA 1000 China Open where she qualified for the main draw, she also recorded a first round victory over Varvara Gracheva. With her second round win over seventh seed Barbora Krejčíková at the 2024 Wuhan Open as a qualifier, Baptiste became the first player ranked outside the top 100 (at No. 102) to defeat a top-10 since the inception of the tournament.
