On 26 June 2023, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 93. On 24 April 2023, she peaked at No. 104 in the WTA doubles rankings. In July 2018, Danilović won her first

Fed Cup
competition (as of September 2023).

Coaches

In 2018, Danilovic hired former world No. 2, Àlex Corretja, as her coach,[1] having been her mentor since 2016.[2] During her title tour in Moscow, former Serbian Fed Cup captain, Dejan Vraneš, traveled with Danilović and coached her although he is not her official coach.[1] In 2018–2019, she was briefly coached by Petar Popović.[3] In 2017–18, her coach was Juan Lizariturry.[4] Danilović was coached in the past by Denis Bejtulahi (in 2017)[5] and Tatjana Ječmenica (in two stints – before late 2015[6] and in 2016).[7]

Personal life

Olga's father is Serbian former basketball player Predrag Danilović, while her mother, Svetlana (née Radošević), is a sports reporter for Radio Television of Serbia.[8]

2018: Top 100, first WTA Tour titles; Fed Cup Heart Award

Danilović made her Fed Cup debut in February 2018 in Group I of

Fed Cup Heart Award and a cheque of $1,000 to be donated to a charity,[10] which she chose to donate to University Children's Hospital in Belgrade.[11]

In March, she won her first $25k title in

Kateryna Bondarenko but lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the final round of qualifying. In mid-July, Danilović won the first $60k title in her career when she came back from one set down to beat another former top 30 player, Laura Siegemund, 5–7, 6–1, 6–3, in the final of Versmold. She also reached the final in doubles of the same tournament with compatriot Nina Stojanović
.

In late July, she won her first career WTA Tour singles title in Moscow, defeating Anastasia Potapova in the final, in three sets. Danilović became the first player born in the third millennium (after 2000) to win a WTA tournament singles title. She also became the second lucky loser in the history of the WTA Tour to win the title.[12] This was the first WTA tournament final between two players under 18 since Tatiana Golovin and Nicole Vaidišová played in the final of the 2005 Japan Open.

She participated in the US Open qualifying, where she beat Bianca Andreescu, before losing to Jaimee Fourlis. She then entered the Tashkent Open, where she beat Anna Kalinskaya in the first round, before losing to Anastasia Potapova in a Moscow re-match. In the same tournament, she won the doubles title partnering Tamara Zidanšek.

On 1 October 2018, Danilović entered the top 100 for the first time when she reached a singles ranking of 97. The following week, she reached her highest ranking of the season, No. 96.

In mid-October, she lost in the first round of qualifying in Linz and Luxembourg. She next participated in the WTA 125 Mumbai Open, where she was seeded fourth and lost to Danka Kovinić in the first round, whom she also partnered with to reach the semifinals in doubles. This proved to be her last tournament of the year as she withdrew from the following week's WTA 125 Open de Limoges.

2021: Australian Open and US Open debut

Along with Francesca Jones, Danilović made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the Australian Open.[13] She won in the first round of the tournament where she faced Petra Martic. She was defeated in the second round by Shelby Rogers, in straight sets.[14] In July, she made two back-to-back quarterfinals. First, at the Budapest Grand Prix, she won first two rounds before losing to Dalma Gálfi in the quarterfinal.[15] The following week, at the Palermo Ladies Open, she lost to Zhang Shuai in the same round.[16]

2022: French Open debut

At the French Open, she qualified for the main draw to make her debut at this major defeating Viktoriya Tomova.[17]

Ranked No. 124 as a qualifier at the Ladies Open Lausanne, she reached her second career final by beating Misaki Doi in the first, Anna Kalinskaya in the second, home favorite Simona Waltert in the quarterfinals and Anastasia Potapova in the semifinals. In the final, she was beaten by Petra Martić.[18] At the same tournament, she won the doubles event, partnering Kristina Mladenovic.

2023: Biggest ITF title, major third round, back to top 100

In May, Danilović won her first $100k title at the Open Villa de Madrid, beating Sara Sorribes Tormo in the final. During the tournament, she did not drop a single set against any players. Triumphing here, she secured her spot in Wimbledon Championships main-draw for the first time.[19] However, she should lose there her first-round match in a close two-setter to Slovak player Jana Čepelová.

At the French Open, as a qualifier, Danilović reached the third round, her best Grand Slam performance up to date. In the third round, she lost in three tough sets against No. 7 seed, Ons Jabeur.[20] With this result, after five years, she returned to the top 100.
