Monica Niculescu is a Romanian professional tennis player. She reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 28 in February 2012, and has four singles titles to her credit on the WTA Tour since she turned pro in May 2002, the last one coming at the end of 2017, at the Open de Limoges. Although she was a steady top 30 player for several years and enjoyed relative success in singles, she is also a doubles specialist, where she achieved a career-high ranking of no.11, in April 2018, after partnering with Grand Slam winner and Olympic medalist Andrea Sestini Hlaváčková at Indian Wells. Her biggest doubles result up to date is reaching her first grand slam doubles final at Wimbledon, in 2017, alongside Chan Hao-ching. She was also runner-up at three Premier Mandatory events: the 2015 Wuhan Open, with fellow Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu, the 2016 Rogers Cup, with current world no.1 Simona Halep, and the 2017 Cincinnati Open, partnering former world no.1 in doubles, Su-wei Hsieh.
