She made her WTA Tour debut at the 2021 Gippsland Trophy, having received a wildcard into the main draw.[2]
Gadecki was born and raised by her mother[3] on the Gold Coast where she started playing tennis at age three.[1] She is of Polish descent,[4] and has five brothers.[5] She was considered a prodigious tennis talent as a junior and at the age of 12 was one of just 16 players from around the world invited to take part in the Longines Future Tennis Aces competition in Paris on the eve of the 2014 French Open.[6] Gadecki attended Southport State High School throughout her teenage years.[7]
2016–2020: First steps
Gadecki made her main-draw debut on the ITF Circuit in Brisbane, in September 2016.
2021: WTA Tour debut
In January 2021, Gadecki made the second round of the Australian Open qualifying.[8] She was awarded a wild card into the Gippsland Trophy, where she made her WTA Tour main-draw debut.
In February, Gadecki won her first WTA Tour singles main-draw match at the Phillip Island Trophy.[9] She followed this up with her first top-10 win, defeating the top seed, former Australian Open champion and world No. 4, Sofia Kenin. With Gadecki's career-high ranking being No. 988 in the world, this was Kenin's worst defeat by ranking on the WTA Tour.[10] Gadecki lost in the third round.[11] The following week, she re-entered the WTA rankings at No. 642.[12] In May 2021, Gadecki won her first professional singles title in Turkey.[13]
In August 2021, she won the singles and doubles titles at Vigo, Spain. It was her second singles title and fifth doubles title.[14]
On 20 September 2021, Gadecki debuted in the Australian top 10 in singles and doubles rankings.[15] She ended the year with a singles ranking of 238.
2022: Top 200
Gadecki did not enter the 2022 Australian Open due to the requirement for all players to be vaccinated against COVID-19[16]
In April 2022, Gadecki broke into the top 200, after reaching three finals from four Australian Pro Tour appearances.[17]
2023: United Cup and Australian Open debuts, first major win, top 150
She made her debut at the Australian Open as a wildcard.[18] She defeated Polina Kudermetova in the first round. As a result, her ranking climbed to No. 144, on 20 February 2023.
