Kateřina Siniaková was born in Hradec Králové on 10 May 1996. Her father, Dmitry, a former boxer born in Russia, became her coach. As a junior she won the girls' doubles at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open in 2013 with Barbora Krejčíková, and the two went on to win seven major titles together as seniors.
Their majors included Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2018, Wimbledon again in 2022 and the US Open later that year, which with their Olympic gold in Tokyo completed a career Golden Slam. Siniaková first reached No. 1 in doubles in October 2018. The partnership ended after the 2023 season, at Siniaková's initiative according to media reports. She then won Roland Garros in 2024 with Coco Gauff, Wimbledon in 2024 and the 2025 Australian Open with Taylor Townsend, and Olympic mixed gold in Paris with Tomáš Macháč. In July 2025 she added the Wimbledon mixed title with Sem Verbeek.
In singles she has won five WTA titles and reached a career-high No. 27 in June 2024. At the 2019 French Open she beat the world No. 1, Naomi Osaka. Her one singles title on grass came at Bad Homburg in 2023, the week before Wimbledon.

The 2018 title came twenty years after Jana Novotná won the Wimbledon singles. Novotná had coached Krejčíková and died of ovarian cancer in November 2017; the pair dedicated their two majors that summer to her. Siniaková's verdict on the win: "At the beginning of the tournament, I wouldn't have expected this."

Krejčíková described Siniaková as "really strong" with "powerful shots" and herself as "totally the opposite person", preferring spin and variation. Their secret, she said, was "the communication between us."

Siniaková and Taylor Townsend had never played together before 2024. Wimbledon was their first major as a pair and only their third tournament; they beat the top seeds Hsieh Su-wei and Elise Mertens in the semi-finals and won Townsend her first major title.
