Career
edit2015: Suspension due to doping
editOn 27 May 2015, the International Tennis Federation announced that Kozlova has been found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation. She was found positive to a doping substance after taking a stimulant, dimethylbutylamine. Kozlova's suspension was reduced to six months starting from 15 February to 15 August 2015.[1][2]
2018: First top-5 win and maiden WTA Tour final
editIn February, Kozlova reached her first WTA Tour final at the Taiwan Open, defeating Sabine Lisicki in the semifinals,[3] before losing the championship match to Timea Babos.[4][5]
At the French Open in May, she became the second player to defeat a defending champion in the first round of the French Open, after a straight sets victory over 2017 champion Jeļena Ostapenko.[6][7]
2022: Poland Open semifinal
editHaving lost in qualifying, Baindl gained entry to the Poland Open as a lucky loser where wins over 11th seed Maryna Zanevska,[8] qualifier Sara Errani[9] and eighth seed Petra Martić,[10][11] saw her reach the semifinals. She lost to Ana Bogdan in the last four.[12]
At the Emilia-Romagna Open in Parma, she qualified into the main draw where she was defeated by world No. 7 and top seed, Maria Sakkari.[13]
2023-2024: Australian Open third round
editAt the 2023 Australian Open, Baindl defeated Kamilla Rakhimova[14] and Caty McNally to reach the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.[15] She lost to 17th seed Jeļena Ostapenko.[16]
Baindl reached her second career singles final at the 2023 Budapest Grand Prix, defeating Claire Liu in the semifinals.[17][18] She lost to lucky loser Maria Timofeeva in the final.[19]
She used a protected ranking to get into the 2024 Wimbledon Championships and the 2024 US Open, but lost in the first round at both events to Laura Siegemund in straight sets.[20] and Elisabetta Cocciaretto respectively.[21]
