Born in Filderstadt, West Germany, on 4 March 1988, Siegemund turned professional in 2006 and took a degree in psychology in 2016, the year she won her first singles title at Båstad, reached the Olympic quarter-finals in Rio and rose to a career-high No. 27. She won Stuttgart as a wildcard in 2017 before a knee injury ended her season. Her greater success has come in doubles: the 2016 US Open mixed with Mate Pavić, the 2020 US Open women's doubles and the 2023 WTA Finals with Vera Zvonareva, and the 2024 French Open mixed with Édouard Roger-Vasselin. She reached No. 4 in doubles in January 2024. In 2025, at 37, she reached her first Wimbledon quarter-final. Her 2026 grass season ended in the first round at Wimbledon, where Elise Mertens beat her 6-2, 6-4.

Hagen 2016
While playing on the tour she completed a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Hagen, finishing in 2016. It was her best singles year: a first title at BÃ¥stad, a quarter-final at the Rio Olympics and a career-high ranking of No. 27 that August.

Asked about her slow pace between points, she did not pretend otherwise. "I was always slow, talking about time violations and stuff. That's nothing that just got invented now," she said. "I'm pretty consistent with my weirdness that I have, let's say." It did lead to confrontation sometimes, she added: "That's how I am."

Beating the lucky loser Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2 made her, at 37 years and 118 days, the oldest woman in the Open Era to reach a first Wimbledon quarter-final. "I'm a fighter," she said, adding: "If you are ready to accept a good match and lose, then you are ready to win."

She took the first set from Aryna Sabalenka and led by a break twice in the third before losing 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 after nearly three hours. Sabalenka admitted she had thought about booking tickets home after the first set. Siegemund had called her own game annoying; Sabalenka disagreed: "It's a smart game."

A year after her quarter-final she was unseeded and drew the 25th seed, Elise Mertens, in the first round. Mertens won 6-2, 6-4, and during the second set Siegemund complained to the umpire, apparently about her opponent's behaviour while serving. Mertens went on to reach her first Wimbledon quarter-final.
