History

2012

Friedsam won her first $25k tournament in 2012, at the Infond Open.

2015: First WTA Tour final

In Linz, Friedsam reached her first career singles final, losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets.

2016-2018: Grand Slam fourth round, top 50 debut, extended hiatus due to surgery

At the 2016 Australian Open, she reached her first and so far only Grand Slam round of 16. There, she lost to Agnieszka Radwańska after a big battle and struggling with injury during the match. In the previous round, she defeated US Open finalist and top 20 player Roberta Vinci.

Shoulder pain and two surgeries in 2016 and 2017 kept Friedsam out of the game for more than two years. She came back to the WTA tour with a protected ranking at the Miami Open 2019.

2020: Second WTA Tour final

At the 2020 Lyon Open, she reached the final but lost to Sofia Kenin. On her way to the final, she defeated two former top-10 players, Kristina Mladenovic and Daria Kasatkina, respectively.

2022: Two WTA 125 finals

After slipping down the rankings following the Covid break in 2020, Friedsam bounced back in the second half of 2022, reaching the semifinals at Portoroz, where her run was ended by eventual champion Kateřina Siniaková. She finished the year with two WTA 125 finals at Midland and Angers, losing to Caty McNally and Alycia Parks, respectively.

2023: Back to top 100

At the Upper Austria Ladies Linz, Friedsam reached the quarterfinals as a qualifier defeating fellow qualifier and former top-10 player Sara Errani and fourth seed Anhelina Kalinina. She lost in the last eight to eighth seed and eventual champion Anastasia Potapova. At the same tournament, she reached her seventh final in doubles with Nadiia Kichenok.

At the inaugural edition of the ATX Open in Austin, Texas, Friedsam reached her second consecutive quarterfinal defeating lucky loser Erika Andreeva in a match lasting over three hours with a third set longest tiebreak for the season. This win marked Friedsam's return to the world top 100 for the first time since her shoulder surgery in January 2017. At the same tournament, she reached the doubles semifinals with Nadiia Kichenok, but lost to eventual champions Erin Routliffe and Aldila Sutjiadi.
