Olivia Lincer

Olivia Lincer (born December 17, 2004) is an American college tennis player for the Texas A&M Aggies. She previously played for the UCF Knights and Oklahoma State Cowgirls. She has a career-high Women's Tennis Association (WTA) singles ranking of No. 405 and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 300, both reached in October 2025.

Tennis career Early life and juniors Lincer grew up in Windsor, Connecticut, the daughter of Karina and Maciej "Magic" Lincer. Though a natural lefty, Lincer learned to play right-handed. At age thirteen, she jumped to the 18s age group in United States Tennis Association (USTA) competitions and proved herself at that level, winning four consecutive New England Super Six tournaments. At sixteen, she was ranked as the top player in the United States under 18.

Lincer debuted on the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour at age 16 in June 2021, earning a wildcard into the main draw at a W25 event in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She lost in the first round to qualifier Joanne Züger. The following week, she partnered Madison Appel to earn her first professional win over Rasheeda McAdoo and Conny Perrin at the next W25 in Santo Domingo, but they lost in the next round to eventual champions Kelly Williford and Ana Carmen Zamburek. In November 2021, she reached her first professional final at a W15 event in Guatemala City, where she lost to top seed Hurricane Tyra Black. Later that year, she made the only Grand Slam appearance of her junior career at the Wimbledon Championships, recording wins over Sara Saito and Johanne Svendsen to reach the third round in girls' singles, where she lost to fifth seed Victoria Mboko. She also reached the second round in girls' doubles with Renáta Jamrichová, losing to top seeds Nikola Bartůňková and Céline Naef. Ranked as a top five recruit in the national class of 2023, she committed to play college tennis at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

College years

In July 2023, Lincer earned a wildcard into her first WTA Tour qualifying draw at the WTA Poland Open, where she lost her opening match to Ankita Raina. She primarily played at the number one and number three singles spots and finished her freshman campaign with a 7–10 singles record, good enough to be named the Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Year. She also earned her first WTA 125 win in the doubles draw in Newport, partnering a retiring Eugenie Bouchard to defeat Maria Mateas and Alana Smith in the first round.

After two seasons at UCF, Lincer transferred to the Oklahoma State Cowgirls for the spring of 2026. She ended her junior year with an 8–4 singles record at court one, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors.
