Tennis career

In March 2016, Dunne won a major non-ITF title at Naremburn, Sydney. As the No. 2 seed, she defeated Shérazad Reix 6–3, 6–2 to claim the $3,200 first prize at the prestigious North Shore Open.

She made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2014 Birmingham Classic. ^[2] Having defeated the tenth and second seeds in qualifying, Alizé Lim and Tímea Babos, respectively, ^[3] she faced world No. 44, Camila Giorgi, in the first round, ^[4] but had to retire with a hip injury after only three games of the third set. ^[2]

Dunne was later handed a wildcard to compete in the Wimbledon qualifying for the third year running, but lost in the first round to the two-time quarterfinalist Tamira Paszek, in straight sets. ^[5] In 2018, she was handed a wildcard into the Wimbledon main draw where she played on centre court against Jelena Ostapenko, pushing the 12th seed to a tie break, before losing in two sets. ^[6] In 2019, Dunne won a $60k tournament in Spain and picked up an injury shortly after that.^{[ citation needed ]}
