Katrina Scott's Tennis Journey
Starting Out: Junior Career
Katrina grew up in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. When she was 15 years old in 2019, she was already quite tall at 5 feet 11 inches! That year, she played in the junior US Open as a special entry called a wildcard. She made it all the way to the quarterfinals. She also reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
In September 2019, Katrina teamed up with Robin Montgomery and Connie Ma. Together, they won the Junior Federation Cup for the United States. This was the third win in a row for the U.S. team! Famous players like Amanda Anisimova and Coco Gauff were part of the winning teams in earlier years.
Playing with the Pros: Senior Career
Katrina made her first big appearance in a Grand Slam tournament at the 2020 US Open. She got a wildcard entry, which means she was invited to play even without a high ranking. In her very first match, she won against Natalia Vikhlyantseva. This was a huge step for her! She then played against Amanda Anisimova in the second round. Katrina won one set in that match, showing she could compete with top players.
In 2021, Katrina received another wildcard to play in the main part of the 2021 Miami Open. She played against Sorana Cîrstea in the first round.
More recently, in 2024, Katrina was ranked No. 296. She got another wildcard to play in the 2024 Tennis in the Land tournament in Cleveland. She played against fellow wildcard McCartney Kessler in the first round.
