In October, she reached semifinals of the Linz Open, before losing to Magdaléna Rybáriková.^[16] She then played on the WTA Challenger Tour, where she reached two semifinals, at the Hua Hin Championships and the Taipei Challenger.^[5][17]

At Wimbledon, she reached the third round of a major for the first time by defeating Iga Świątek^[21] and Yulia Putintseva,^[22] but then lost to Dayana Yastremska.^[23]

In September, she reached quarterfinals of the Jiangxi International Open, losing there to Elena Rybakina.^[24] She followed this with a semifinal appearance at the Guangzhou International Open, before losing to Samantha Stosur.^[25]

In October at the rescheduled event in Indian Wells, she overcame sixth seed Maria Sakkari in the second round,^[38] only to lose her next match to qualifier Anna Kalinskaya.^[39]
