Career
2021–2022: Junior No. 1 & professional debut
On the ITF Junior Circuit, Marčinko had won nine singles and seven doubles titles. In December 2021, she completed a remarkable late-season surge as singles and doubles wins at the Orange Bowl championship saw her climb nine places to finish as the year-end junior world No. 1 on 13 December 2021.[3]
At the beginning of 2022, she won her first junior Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, defeating Sofia Costoulas in the final, in straight sets.[4]
As a 16-year-old, Marčinko made her WTA Tour debut at the 2022 Morocco Open in Rabat as a wildcard player defeating Rebecca Peterson,[5][6] before losing to Astra Sharma in the second round.[7]
2023–2025: First WTA 125 title
She won her sixth consecutive ITF Women's Circuit title at the 2023 Caldas da Rainha Ladies Open, defeating Léolia Jeanjean in the final in straight sets, and set the new Croatian record for the youngest women's player to win six professional singles titles before turning 18.[8]
Having been given a wildcard entry, Marčinko finished runner-up at the 2024 WTA 125 Montreux Ladies Open, losing to seventh seed Irina-Camelia Begu in the final, in three sets.[9]
In July 2025, she won her first WTA 125 title at the ATV Tennis Open in Rome, defeating Oksana Selekhmeteva in the final.[10]
2026: Major debut, first WTA Tour title
Marčinko made her major debut at the Australian Open where she directly entered the main-draw[11] and recorded her first win over Tatjana Maria,[12] before losing to Peyton Stearns in the second round.[13]
Seeded sixth, Marčinko won her maiden tour title at the Morocco Open in Rabat, defeating qualifier Vera Zvonareva,[14] wildcard entrant Yelyzaveta Kotliar,[15] second seed Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro[16] and Jil Teichmann en route to the final,[17] which she won when her opponent, Anhelina Kalinina, retired due to injury in the second set.[18][19] As a result of claiming the trophy, Marčinko reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 51 on 25 May 2026.[20]
