Who is Kaja Juvan?

Kaja Juvan is a Slovenian professional tennis player born on 25 November 2000 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is one of two children birthed to Katja Ažman Juvan and Robert Juvan. She grew up with her brother Mark Juvan.

Juvan began playing tennis at a very young age. Her performances at the junior career level were nothing short of impressive, reaching the semifinals of both the 2016 Wimbledon Championships and the 2016 US Open girls’ doubles events.

Juvan lifted a few trophies as well; including the Orange Bowl in 2016 and a gold in doubles at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires with Polish partner Iga Świątek.

Despite her lightening career at the junior level, she couldn’t replicate that on the big stages immediately. Juvan’s breakthrough came in 2019, where she made her Grand Slam debut at the French, losing in the first round of the event.

At the Grand Slam Championship at the 2021 Australian Open, Juvan reached the third round of the competition, although she was a qualifier for the very first time in her career. She beat 13th seed Johanna Konta in the first round and Mayar Sherif in the second round.

In June of 2021, she also reached the third round at Wimbledon. On the way, she defeated ninth seed Belinda Bencic in the first round (her 2nd top-15 win of 2021) before beating French qualifier Clara Burel in the second round.

Juvan’s career took a turn for the better when she made a name on the big stage by dispatching 23rd seed Beatriz Haddad Maia at the 2022 Wimbledon Championship. That was a big upset as Maia was coming back from a two back-to-back grass-court titles win.

Unfortunately, she took a break from tennis on 5 April 2023 due to personal reasons. Her father Robert had sadly passed on after battling with cancer for which she took two months off the tour.

Juvan made a comeback at the U.S Open, where she reached the third round only to lose to longtime friend and 2018 gold winning doubles partner Iga Świątek of Poland.
