Career

Sorribes Tormo started playing tennis at the age of six and prefers the clay court.

In 2013 she competed in the junior women competition of a Grand Slam tournament in Paris for the first time and reached the third round there. Before that, she celebrated her successful debut on the WTA Tour, where she started qualifying for the Mutua Madrid Open with a wildcard and in her first match with Annika Beck immediately beat a player from the top 100 in the world rankings .

In 2014 Sorribes Tormo won the 2014 European Junior Championships in tennis and won her first ITF title in the $ 25,000 category in Westende in the women’s qualification .

She then made her debut at the French Open for the first time in the qualifying round of a Grand Slam, but failed in the opening match. The following year, Sorribes Tormo successfully qualified for the main draw in Paris for the first time; in the first round against Anastassija Pavlyuchenkova , however, she had no chance.

In Gstaad , too , she made it to the semifinals; In the four Grand Slam tournaments of the year, however, she was eliminated in the first round. After Sorribes Tormo fell back after a weaker start to the 2018 season, she won a match in the main draw for the first time at Wimbledon against Kaia Kanepi ; in the second round she lost to Carla Suárez Navarro . Also because of two finals at the highly endowed ITF tournaments in Manchester and Contrexéville , where she lost to Ons Jabeur and Stefanie Vögele , she was able to finish the season in the top 100 in the world for the second year in a row in 2018.

In 2019 she celebrated her greatest success to date by reaching the final at the WTA Challenger in Bol , which she lost 5: 7 and 5: 7 to Tamara Zidanšek . In the following week she achieved her best world ranking so far with position 64.

In Grand Slam tournaments, she was already three times in the round of 16, most recently together with Viktorija Golubic at the US Open 2019 , before they were eliminated there against the fourth-placed double Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka .
