Janicijevic started the year in Egypt where she reached two semifinals showing in the first two $15k in Giza and Cairo, stopped only by Sapfo Sakellaridi in both tournaments, and a championship win in the $25k in Cairo. This title was followed by another in February, at a $15k in Antalya over Angelica Moratelli. However, she would lose the two consequent tournaments on the Turkish clay, one ending in retirement. She did not play for a few weeks after this before returning to the European ITFs where she found minimum success. Upon her return to Egypt, she found herself in a much better position, immediately going to the final of a $25k, losing to Anastasia Zolotareva.
She received a wildcard entry into the Paris WTA 125 event, losing to Magda Linette in the first round in three sets. In June, Janicijevic won a $25k in Périgueux, defeating top seed Katharina Hobgarski in the final.
2023: Australian Open debut and first WTA Tour win
[edit]Janicijevic made her debut at the Australian Open, where she defeated Jodie Burrage in the final qualifying round,[5][6] before losing to Kaja Juvan in the main draw first round.[7] However, she entered a period of drought following that feat as she went on a five-match losing streak, before winning a $25k title in Colombia, her first of the year.[citation needed]
In May, Janicijevic recorded her first career WTA Tour singles main-draw win in Strasbourg by defeating fellow Frenchwoman Océane Dodin in the first round,[8] before losing to sixth seed Varvara Gracheva in the second round.[9]
2024: First WTA Tour quarterfinal, top 160
[edit]In July, Janicijevic made it through to the semifinals at the Grand Est Open 88, with wins over wildcard entrant Amandine Hesse,[10] seventh seed Suzan Lamens[11] and Dalila Jakupović,[12] before her run was ended by third seed Mayar Sherif.[13] Later that month she reached her first WTA Tour singles quarterfinal at the Iași Open after winning two qualifying matches and defeating fellow qualifier Gergana Topalova[14] and wildcard Miriam Bulgaru[15] in the main draw first and second rounds respectively. Janicijevic lost her quarterfinal match to her compatriot Chloé Paquet in three sets.[16] As a result she reached the top 160 in the rankings on 29 July.[citation needed]
Partnering Erika Andreeva, Janicijevic reached the doubles final at the WTA 125 Open de Limoges, losing to Elsa Jacquemot and Margaux Rouvroy.[17]
