Maria Glebovna Timofeeva (Russian: Мари́я Гле́бовна Тимофе́ева, IPA:[mɐˈrʲijətʲɪmɐˈfʲe(j)ɪvə];[1] born 18 November 2003) is a Russian professional tennis player.
Timofeeva has career-high WTA rankings of No. 93 in singles and No. 179 in doubles. She has won one singles title on the WTA Tour along with five singles and six doubles titles on the ITF Circuit.
Timofeeva won her first WTA Tour title on her main-draw debut at the Budapest Grand Prix in July 2023, defeating Kateryna Baindl in three sets in the final.[2] She became only the fourth lucky loser in WTA history to win a singles title and the ninth player to win a title on her tour debut; she was the second to do both at once, following Olga Danilović at the 2018 Moscow River Cup. As a result, she reached the top 125 in the rankings, on 11 September 2023.[3]
She's the granddaughter of Liubov Timofeeva [fr], internationally famous classical pianist.[16][17][18] At the 2023 US Open, Timofeeva began a blogging YouTube channel, Kiss My Ace, alongside friend and tennis player Ekaterina Kazionova, inspired by the blog of Daria Kasatkina. Maria Timofeeva's older sister, Antonina, is a rock singer who performs under the name Antonia Queen, and she is also a vocal coach.[3][19]
