Amelia Rajecki (born 3 June 2002) is a British professional tennis player. She previously played US collegiate tennis for North Carolina State.

Early life

From Nottingham, she moved to the United States to attend the North Carolina State University in 2021.[1]

Rajecki had success on the British tour in 2022.[2]

College career

Rajecki began playing for the Wolfpack at North Carolina State University in 2020–21.[3] In her junior year in 2022–23, she set the program record of singles wins in a season with 40 wins and 11 losses.[3] She helped NC State win its first ACC title with a win over Carson Tanguilig of North Carolina.[4] At the 2023 NCAA Championships, where NC State lost to North Carolina in the team final, Rajecki beat No. 1 seed, Fiona Crawley of North Carolina, in the singles event, with her victories enough to secure All-American honours for herself.[5]

Professional career

Ranked No. 884, Rajecki reached her first WTA main draw at the grass-court 2024 Birmingham Classic defeating Yafan Wang and Katie Volynets in the qualifying rounds.[6] She lost her first round match to Diana Shnaider.[7][8][9]
