Louisa Chirico

Louisa Chirico (born May 16, 1996) is an American tennis player. On 24 October 2016, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 58. On 6 March 2017, she peaked at No. 184 in the WTA doubles rankings. Chirico has won seven singles titles and two doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. Her best performance in singles at a Grand Slam tournament was reaching the second round at the 2016 French Open.

She is of Korean descent through her mother. She comes from Harrison, New York.

Partnering Jan Abaza, Chirico won her first 50k tournament at the 2013 Melbourne Pro Classic, defeating Asia Muhammad and Allie Will in the final.[citation needed]

She made her major main-draw debut at the 2015 French Open after being awarded a wildcard into the event by the USTA. She lost in the first round to the ninth seed Ekaterina Makarova, in straight sets.

Chirico won her first WTA Tour match at the Washington Open where she defeated Heather Watson. She then beat the top-30 player Alizé Cornet in a third set tie-breaker but lost to Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals.

In May 2016, Chirico won five qualifier and main draw matches at the Madrid Open to reach the semifinals. Later that month, she reached the main draw of the 2016 French Open through three qualifying wins and made it through to the second round.

After reaching a career-high ranking of No. 58 in October 2016, Chirico dropped outside the top 500 in September 2018.

Chirico won her first WTA Tour main-draw match in five years when she defeated Alison Riske-Amritraj at the 2022 San Diego Open. She made it through qualifying at Wimbledon, after a five years absence from the majors since the 2017 French Open. She lost to fourth seed Paula Badosa in the first round.
