Personal life


Swan was born in Bristol, to parents Nicki and Richard. Whilst on holiday in Portugal when she was seven, she took tennis lessons. Her teacher had once played for Portugal and told her parents that she showed real talent and could represent her country in the future.[2]

Swan was head girl at Bristol prep The Downs School and a keen hockey player, representing Avon and her school when they qualified for the under-13 national finals. She briefly attended Bristol Grammar School until the family moved to Wichita, Kansas (U.S.) in 2013 due to her father's job in the oil industry.[3] Swan was one of the very few junior players on the competitive circuit who continued in school, Wichita Collegiate School,[4] though from August 2015 she took online classes.[5]

Since 2013, Swan has been based in Wichita.[4][6]


Junior career


In 2009, Swan won her first international tournament in Croatia, the prestigious Smrikve Bowl event for 10-year-olds,[7] and went on to win an under-10s international title.[3]

In 2014, Swan was a member of the four-strong GB squad, coached by Judy Murray, that triumphed in the Maureen Connolly Challenge Trophy, an annual under-18s competition, against the U.S. team.[8][9]

On 30 January 2015, Swan defeated Dalma Gálfi, after facing three match points to reach her first junior Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, which she lost 1–6, 4–6 to Tereza Mihalikova.[6][10]


Senior career



2015


In March, just before her 16th birthday, Swan achieved her first victories on the senior tour,[11] coming through the qualifying draw to win a $10k tournament in Sharm El Sheikh. She beat seventh seed Julia Terziyska in the final, having already dispatched two seeds in earlier rounds.

Judy Murray, captain of the British Fed Cup team, already had Swan in her plans, to represent Great Britain in 2016.[12]

In June, Swan competed at the Wimbledon qualifying tournament, after being granted a wildcard entry, beating ninth seed and 118th ranked Kristína Kučová in the first round, in straight sets.[13]


2016


She was called up for her Fed Cup debut in the Euro/Africa Zone Group 1 tie against South Africa. Swan became the youngest British player in Fed Cup history at the age of 16 years and 316 days, beating the record of Anne Keothavong by 270 days. [14] Swan beat Ilze Hattingh 6–3, 6–0 in the opening match of the tie. Great Britain went on to beat South Africa 3–0.[15] During the grass-court season, she received a wildcard into the main draw at Wimbledon where she played world No. 35, Tímea Babos. Swan lost 2–6, 3–6.[16]


2017


Following problems in late 2016/early 2017 from recurring injuries,[17] Swan returned at the Soho Square Future in Sharm El Sheikh, winning the $15k tournament by beating Pemra Özgen in the final, in straight sets. Followed in March with another tournament win, again at Sharm El Sheikh against German player Julia Wachaczyk, in a two set final, putting Swan into the top ten British female players. In October, Swan won her first $25k tournament, when fellow Brit Katie Boulter retired in the first set of the final.[18]


2018

At the start of the year, it was announced that Swan had joined Andy Murray's "77 Sports Management" with a statement from him saying, “Katie is a player I’ve been watching for a while. She’s got great potential and has already had some good results. I’m hoping we can offer support to her in areas on and off the court and complement the team she has in place already.”[19] She subsequently added former Heather Watson coach Diego Veronelli to share responsibilities with existing coach Julien Picot.[20]

In May, Swan won her second $25k tournament without dropping a set at the Torneo Conchita Martínez in Monzón, Spain.[21] In June, she won two rounds in qualifying at the Nottingham Open, to reach the main draw of a WTA Tour event by right for the first time, earlier appearances having relied on wildcards.[22] After receiving another wildcard for Wimbledon, Swan reached the second round, defeating world No. 36, Irina-Camelia Begu, 6–2, 6–2 in the first round.[23]

She ended the year ranked 176th.


2019–2020


She entered qualifying of the Australian Open for the first time, however, she retired against Bianca Andreescu. Later in the year, she made it to the final round of qualifying for the French Open, before losing 4-6, 5-7 to Kristína Kučová.

For Wimbledon, she received another wildcard and was defeated by Laura Siegemund, 6-2, 6-4.

She ended the year ranked 240th.

By the end of 2020 her ranking had dropped to 267th.


2021–2022


She qualified for Wimbledon, defeating Arina Rodionova 6-0, 6-4 in the final match. In the first round of the main draw, she lost to 23rd seed Madison Keys.[24] Swan also had some success on the ITF Circuit, winning a $25k tournament in Orlando in February 2021, and the $25k Paf Open 2021 in Haabneeme in November.[25][26]

Swan started 2022 season at the qualifying tournament of the Australian Open. She beat Abbie Myers in the first round but lost to Viktoriya Tomova in the second.[27]

Notes


  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Total Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. In 2014, the Toray Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  3. The $50,000 ITF tournaments were reclassified as $60,000 in 2017.
