Katarzyna Kawa: a resilient Polish clay-court finalist in her thirties
Katarzyna Kawa has produced some of her best tour results well beyond the usual breakthrough age. The Polish right-hander first reached a WTA final at Jurmala in 2019, then came through qualifying to finish runner-up in Bogota in 2025. She returned to the Bogota quarterfinals in 2026 and also reached the 2025 Bastad WTA 125 final after beating Mayar Sherif. Kawa's career-high No. 112 arrived in 2020, but her later results demonstrate sustained competitiveness. The ITF records clay as her strongest surface, matching the settings of her most notable recent runs.
