In June 2023, she qualified for the Nottingham Open for her singles main-draw debut. She lost to British No. 1, Katie Boulter. [2] [3]

Partnering with Lily Miyazaki after being given a wildcard entry, Appleton reached the second round in the doubles at Wimbledon in 2024, defeating Wang Xiyu and Zhu Lin in a deciding set tie-break in the first round, [4] before bowing out against top seeds Elise Mertens and Hsieh Su-wei in round two. [5]

Alongside Maia Lumsden, she won her first WTA 125 title at the 2024 Dow Tennis Classic, defeating Ariana Arseneault and Mia Kupres in the final which went to a deciding champions tiebreak. [6] [7]
