3.1. 2018: Breakthrough Season

Olga Danilović initiated her professional breakthrough in February 2018 with her debut in the Fed Cup, competing in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I. She delivered a dominant performance, winning all three of her singles matches. This included a notable 6-2, 6-4 victory over the world No. 15, Anastasija Sevastova, during the promotional play-offs. Her courageous efforts for the national team were recognized with a Fed Cup Heart Award, which included a 1.00 K USD cheque that Danilović generously donated to the University Children's Hospital in Belgrade.

In March, she secured her first 25.00 K USD title on the ITF Circuit in Santa Margherita di Pula. In May, she received a wildcard entry into the qualifying rounds of the Premier Mandatory tournament in Madrid. There, she defeated former top-30 player Kateryna Bondarenko before eventually falling to Aryna Sabalenka in the final qualifying round. Mid-July saw Danilović achieve her first 60.00 K USD title at the Reinert Open in Versmold, where she mounted a comeback from a set down to defeat another former top-30 player, Laura Siegemund, with a score of 5-7, 6-1, 6-3. She also reached the doubles final at the same tournament, partnering with compatriot Nina Stojanović.



A significant milestone occurred in late July when Danilović clinched her first career WTA Tour singles title at the 2018 Moscow River Cup, triumphing over Anastasia Potapova in a three-set final. This victory established her as the first player born after the year 2000 to win a WTA Tour singles title. Additionally, she became only the second lucky loser in the history of the WTA Tour to win a title. The final match was also notable as the first WTA tournament final contested between two players under the age of 18 since the 2005 Japan Open, which featured Tatiana Golovin and Nicole Vaidišová.

Following her success in Moscow, Danilović participated in the US Open qualifying, where she defeated Bianca Andreescu before her run was ended by Jaimee Fourlis. She then entered the Tashkent Open, defeating Anna Kalinskaya in the first round before a rematch loss to Anastasia Potapova. At the same event, she secured the doubles title with partner Tamara Zidanšek. On October 1, 2018, Danilović officially entered the world's top 100 for the first time, achieving a singles ranking of No. 97. The following week, she reached her highest ranking of the season at world No. 96. In mid-October, her progress was halted in the first round of qualifying events in Linz and Luxembourg. Her year concluded at the WTA 125 Mumbai Open, where she was seeded fourth but lost to Danka Kovinić in the first round. She also partnered with Kovinić to reach the doubles semifinals before withdrawing from the subsequent WTA 125 Open de Limoges.

3.2. 2019-2020: Development and Challenges

The period of 2019 and 2020 saw Olga Danilović continuing her development on the professional tour, though without major title breakthroughs or significant deep runs in Grand Slam main draws. She consistently participated in qualifying rounds for Grand Slam tournaments and various WTA events, seeking to build on her earlier success. This period also included the disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which led to the cancellation or postponement of many tournaments, impacting her ability to gain momentum and further improve her ranking.

3.3. 2021-2022: Grand Slam Main Draw Debuts and WTA Final

In 2021, Olga Danilović marked a significant step in her career by making her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2021 Australian Open, alongside Francesca Jones. She commenced her campaign impressively by defeating 16th seed Petra Martić in the first round, although she subsequently lost to Shelby Rogers in her next match. In July of the same year, she achieved back-to-back quarterfinal appearances, first at the 2021 Budapest Grand Prix, where she was defeated by Dalma Gálfi, and then at the Palermo Ladies Open, losing to Zhang Shuai. Danilović successfully qualified for the main draw of the 2021 US Open, securing a first-round victory over Alycia Parks. However, she was forced to withdraw from her second-round match against defending champion and third seed Naomi Osaka due to medical reasons.

The 2022 season saw Danilović make her main-draw debut at the 2022 French Open after navigating through the qualifying rounds, including a decisive victory over Viktoriya Tomova. She advanced past Dalma Gálfi in the first round of the main draw before her run concluded with a loss to 23rd seed Jil Teichmann. Later in July, while ranked No. 124 as a qualifier, Danilović reached her second career WTA final at the 2022 Ladies Open Lausanne. Her path to the final included wins against Misaki Doi, Anna Kalinskaya, local favorite Simona Waltert, and Anastasia Potapova. In the final, she faced Petra Martić once again and was defeated. However, she found success in the doubles event at the same tournament, winning the title with her partner Kristina Mladenovic. In September, Danilović further extended her doubles success by winning the WTA 125 Open Delle Puglie title alongside Elisabetta Cocciaretto, overcoming Andrea Gámiz and Eva Vedder in the final.

3.4. 2023: Return to Top 100 and First WTA 125 Title

May 2023 proved to be a successful month for Olga Danilović as she clinched her first 100.00 K USD ITF title at the Open Villa de Madrid, where she defeated Sara Sorribes Tormo in the final. Her strong form continued into the French Open, where, as a qualifier, she achieved her then-best Grand Slam performance by reaching the third round. She secured impressive victories over Jasmine Paolini and Kateryna Baindl before being narrowly defeated in three sets by the No. 7 seed Ons Jabeur. This performance allowed Danilović to re-enter the world's top 100 rankings on June 12, 2023, after a five-year absence. She subsequently reached a new career-high ranking of No. 93 on June 26, 2023, just prior to Wimbledon. In July, while ranked No. 94, Danilović secured her first WTA 125 title at the 2023 Swedish Open in Bastad, where she notably defeated the top seed Emma Navarro in the final.

3.5. 2024-2025: Grand Slam Fourth Round and Second WTA Title

The 2024 season saw Olga Danilović achieve another significant career milestone at the French Open. After successfully qualifying for the main draw, she defeated Martina Trevisan, the 11th seed Danielle Collins (marking a notable victory over a top 10 player), and Donna Vekić. These impressive wins propelled her into the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career. Her achievement made her the first Serbian woman to reach the second week of a Grand Slam since Jelena Janković at Wimbledon in 2015, and the first at Roland Garros since Ana Ivanovic in the same year. Her memorable run was eventually concluded by the fifth seed Markéta Vondroušová. Following her French Open performance, Danilović returned to the top 110, reaching world No. 107 on June 10, 2024.

At Wimbledon, Danilović entered the main draw as a lucky loser but exited in the first round after a loss to Anca Todoni. In July, she reached the semifinals of the Iași Open, securing victories over fourth seed Anna Blinkova, Anca Todoni, and eighth seed Anna Bondar, before being defeated by top seed Mirra Andreeva. October brought further success for Danilović at the Guangzhou Open. She advanced to her first WTA Tour hardcourt final and third overall, by defeating Erika Andreeva, fifth seed Diane Parry, qualifier Mananchaya Sawangkaew, and top seed Kateřina Siniaková. In the final match, Danilović triumphed over qualifier Caroline Dolehide in straight sets, claiming her second WTA Tour title six years after her inaugural win. As a result of this victory, she rose to the top 55 in the rankings on October 28, 2024.

Her strong performances extended into 2025, particularly at the Australian Open. Danilović reached the fourth round of the tournament for the first time in her career, achieving straight-sets victories over Arantxa Rus, 25th seed Liudmila Samsonova, and notably, seventh seed Jessica Pegula.
