Seeded second, she reached her third mixed-doubles final at the US Open, again with Salisbury.[10][11][12] They won the title, defeating Giuliana Olmos and Marcelo Arevalo in straight sets.

[edit]

At the Madrid Open, she reached her first WTA 1000 doubles final. Partnering with Demi Schuurs, she lost to Giuliana Olmos and Gabriela Dabrowski.[14]

At the Eastbourne International, partnering Schuurs, she won her tenth doubles title and fifth at the WTA 500 level.[20] She reached a new career-high ranking of No. 8 on 14 August 2023 following her second WTA 1000 final at the Canadian Open.

2024: Olympics debut, First WTA 1000 doubles title

[edit]

At the Australian Open, Krawczyk was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam in mixed doubles partnering with Neal Skupski. They lost to third seeded newly formed pair and first-time mixed doubles major finalists of Jan Zielinski and Hsieh Su-wei.[21][22]

Partnering Caroline Dolehide, they reached the final of the WTA 1000 Qatar Ladies Open but lost to Luisa Stefani and former Krawczyk’s partner Schuurs.[23]

Krawczyk and Skupski made it into the mixed doubles final at the French Open but lost to the German/French pairing of Laura Siegemund and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.[24]

She won her first WTA 1000 doubles title at the Canadian Open with Dolehide, defeating Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe in the final.[25]

Dolehide and Krawczyk qualified for the end-of-season WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but they were eliminated in the group stages after losing all three of their matches.[26]
