Player profile

Ayla Aksu reaches a new career level at 30

Ayla Aksu's 2026 season produced the clearest breakthrough of her long professional career. The San Francisco-born Turkish right-hander reached her first WTA 125 singles final on the hard courts of Figueira da Foz and climbed to a career-high No. 198. Weeks later in Prague, she avenged a qualifying loss to Sofia Costoulas and recorded her first WTA main-draw victory since 2017. Those results matter more than a generic age label: at 30, Aksu converted years of ITF competition into her first Top 200 ranking and fresh tour-level progress, while continuing to represent Turkey on the international circuit.

US Open story

Ayla Aksu's 2026 US Open qualifying result

Aksu entered the 2026 US Open without a women's singles main-draw appearance and lost in the first qualifying round to Lucrezia Stefanini. The defeat ends her New York run before the three victories required for the main field. It also separates two parts of an otherwise encouraging season. Reaching a WTA 125 final and winning a tour main-draw match showed that Aksu could raise her level across a week; Stefanini prevented that form from becoming a first US Open qualifying win. Aksu's next tournament begins with the same task: make the recent Top 200 breakthrough repeatable across surfaces and opponents.

What to watch

What the Lucrezia Stefanini match means for Ayla Aksu

Aksu's Figueira da Foz final was built on hard courts, so the New York surface was not an obvious disadvantage. Stefanini instead presented a player who is comfortable extending rallies and changing direction without supplying constant pace. For Aksu, the missed opportunity highlights the serve as a practical pressure point: in the WTA 125 final against Darja Vidmanova, seven double faults repeatedly placed her behind in games. That statistic does not describe every match, but it identifies why a stable first ball matters when her right-handed baseline game is otherwise competing well enough to reach finals and earn tour victories.
