In September 2021, she reached the third round at the 2021 US Open as a lucky loser defeating Nadia Podoroska and Liudmila Samsonova. [1] Next, she won the 2021 Luxembourg Open, her second tour doubles title, also partnering Van Uytvanck.

At the 2022 French Open, she reached the quarterfinals in doubles partnering with Anna Bondár. In the first round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, she beat former Wimbledon champion and former world No. 1, Garbiñe Muguruza, 6–4, 6–0, and scored the first top-10 win of her career. [1]
