Miyazaki has career-high rankings by the WTA of 154 in singles and 223 in doubles.[2] She has won five singles titles and seven doubles titles on tournaments of the ITF Women's Circuit.
Miyazaki settled in London aged 10, having previously lived in Tokyo and then Switzerland. She trained at Sutton Tennis Academy up until the age of 18. She switched to British nationality in March 2022, as Japanese citizens are not allowed to hold dual citizenship.[3][4]
Miyazaki attended the University of Oklahoma (2014–2019), where she completed an undergraduate degree in mathematics followed by a master's degree in information technology management.[3] She played No. 1 singles all four years at Oklahoma, recording an overall record of 96–35, and was named to the All-Big 12 first team three times.[5]
Professional careeredit
Miyazaki made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2021 Transylvania Open, partnering Anastasia Gasanova in the doubles tournament. She made her WTA Tour singles debut at the 2022 Lyon Open, after qualifying for the main draw.[6] Miyazaki switched from representing Japan to Great Britain in March 2022.[4]
In June 2022, it was announced that Miyazaki had been awarded a main-draw wildcard for the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, where she made her Grand Slam debut.[7][8]
In October 2022, Miyazaki won her first $60k title in Glasgow beating former top 40 player and compatriot, Heather Watson, in the final, coming back from a set and a double break down.[9]
In September 2023, she made her Grand Slam debut at the US Open and recorded her first win at this major as a qualifier.[10] She made her breakthrough by coming through three rounds of qualifying defeating 23rd seed Daria Snigur, and Valeria Savinykh in straight sets, and ninth seed Viktória Hrunčáková in the final round. In the first round of the main draw, she drew former top-50 player Margarita Betova, who had entered on a protected ranking following injuries and a maternity break. Miyazaki won in straight sets, achieving her first ever Grand Slam singles win. She subsequently lost in the second round to Swiss 15th seed Belinda Bencic winning three games in each set,[11] and rose to a career-high ranking after the event.[12]
