Caroline Dolehide

Dolehide grew up in the Chicago suburbs, where she began playing tennis at five years old. She has an older sister, Courtney who played college tennis at UCLA, coached women's tennis at UT Austin, and became the head coach of men's and women's tennis at Georgetown in 2018.{{cite web |title=Dolehide Named Men's and Women's Tennis Head Coach |url=https://guhoyas.com/news/2018/7/2/dolehide-named-mens-and-womens-tennis-head-coach.aspx?path=mten |website=Georgetown Hoyas | date=July 2, 2018 |access-date=7 August 2018}} Her younger sister Stephanie also plays tennis, and has committed to West Point. Her brother Brian plays collegiate golf at Florida Atlantic University.{{cite web|title=Caroline Dolehide Bio|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/322052/title/caroline-dolehide#bio|website=WTA Tennis|access-date=7 April 2018}}

Dolehide worked with her youth coach Tom Lockhart since the age of six. Dolehide attended Hinsdale Central High School until her sophomore year, when she moved to Florida to train with the United States Tennis Association (USTA). At this point, she began working with Stephen Huss, a former Australian professional tennis player. Dolehide had verbally committed to play tennis at UCLA, but ultimately decided to forgo attending college to pursue a career as a professional.{{cite web |title=Hinsdale, Burr Ridge teens compete at U.S. Open |url=https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2014/09/23/hinsdale-burr-ridge-teens-compete-at-u-s-open/ |website=Sun-Times High School Sports |date=September 23, 2014 |access-date=27 July 2018}}{{cite web |title=Cracked Interviews: #NextGen Caroline Dolehide on Indian Wells Success |url=https://www.crackedracquets.com/cracked-interviews-caroline-dolehide/ |website=Cracked Racquets |access-date=27 July 2018 |archive-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220403212504/https://www.crackedracquets.com/cracked-interviews-caroline-dolehide/ |url-status=dead }}

In 2014, Dolehide reached the semifinals of the girls' singles event at the US Open, despite needing to qualify for the main draw. She upset three of the top ten seeds in the tournament, including Markéta Vondroušová in the first round, before losing to the eventual champion Marie Bouzková.{{cite web|title=US Open Junior Tennis Championship|url=https://www.itftennis.com/juniors/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100031809|website=ITF Tennis|access-date=26 May 2018}} Later that year, she also made it to the semifinals of the Eddie Herr Championships and the quarterfinals at the Orange Bowl, two prestigious Grade 1 tournaments. This helped her rise to a career high ITF junior ranking of No. 16 in the world the following summer.{{cite web |title=Caroline Dolehide Junior Profile |url=https://www.itftennis.com/juniors/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=100231153 |website=ITF |access-date=16 July 2018}} Dolehide was then forced to skip the 2015 US Open and most of the remaining events that season after breaking her left foot. This injury prevented her from continuing to climb in the rankings.

As a junior, Dolehide was more successful in doubles than in singles. In April 2015, she partnered with Ena Shibahara to win the USTA International Spring Championships, her only title at a Grade 1 event. The following week, the duo made it to another final at the Easter Bowl, this time losing to Sofia Kenin and Katie Swan.{{cite web|title=Easter Bowl tennis finals sets in 18s for Sunday|url=https://www.desertsun.com/story/sports/tennis/2015/04/11/easter-bowl-tennis-finals-taylor-fritz/25656791/|website=Desert Sun|access-date=26 May 2018}} In the last few tournaments of her junior career, Dolehide achieved two of her best results with two major runner-ups, the first at the 2015 French Open with partner Katerina Stewart and the second at the 2016 US Open with partner Kayla Day.{{cite web|title=American Juniors Seek Continued Success at Roland Garros|url=https://longislandtennismagazine.com/article8567/american-juniors-seek-continued-success-roland-garros|website=Lite Tennis Magazine|access-date=26 May 2018}}{{cite web|title=A Brand New Day: U.S. Open Junior Champ Kayla Day is as confident as she is talented|url=http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/09/kayla-day-us-open-juniors-tennis/61054/|website=Tennis.com|access-date=26 May 2018}}

Dolehide began playing regularly on the ITF Women's Circuit in 2016, after missing the second half of 2015 with a broken left foot.{{cite web|title=Caroline Dolehide's confidence grows after first pro circuit win|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/burr-ridge/sports/ct-dhd-caroline-dolehide-usta-tennis-tl-0701-20160701-story.html|website=Chicago Tribune|date=July 2016 |access-date=26 May 2018}} In June, she won both the singles and doubles events at the $10k tournament in Buffalo for her first professional titles. The following year, she won two more tournaments at the $25k-level, including Winnipeg in July. Later that month, Dolehide qualified for the Stanford Classic to make her WTA Tour main-draw debut.{{cite web |title=Getting to know Caroline Dolehide |url=https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Tennis_Stories/52736/getting-to-know-caroline-dolehide/ |website=Tennis World USA |date=March 13, 2018 |access-date=16 July 2018}} She won her first tour-level match against world No. 48, Naomi Osaka, before losing to compatriot Madison Keys in the next round.{{cite web |title=The Open Interview: Caroline Dolehide |url=http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2017-08-26/2017-08-26_the_open_interview_caroline_dolehide.html |website=US Open Interview |access-date=16 July 2018}} This success helped her crack the top 200 of the WTA rankings for the first time.

In March 2018, Dolehide was awarded a wildcard into the main draw of the Indian Wells Open, where she picked up her first two match wins at a Premier Mandatory tournament, including a second round victory over No. 30, Dominika Cibulková. She also pushed Simona Halep to three sets in her third-round loss to the world No. 1 player.{{cite web|title=Hinsdale's Caroline Dolehide plays 'a few really good matches' on one of tennis' biggest stages|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/hinsdale/sports/ct-dhd-caroline-dolehide-wta-tennis-tl-0402-20180405-story.html|website=Chicago Tribune|date=April 5, 2018 |access-date=26 May 2018}} Dolehide continued her momentum into the clay-court season, where she won the $60k event at Indian Harbour Beach, the biggest title of her career.{{cite web|title=American Dolehide Claims Tennis Title at USTA Pro Circuit Indian Harbour Beach|url=https://www.ustaflorida.com/american-dolehide-claims-tennis-title-at-usta-pro-circuit-indian-harbour-beach/|website=USTA Florida|date=April 17, 2018 |access-date=26 May 2018}}

She closed out the clay-court season by qualifying for the French Open.

In her major main-draw debut in singles, Dolehide defeated Viktorija Golubic before losing to Madison Keys in the following match.{{cite web |title=Hinsdale's Caroline Dolehide wins first Grand Slam match after playing into French Open main draw |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/hinsdale/sports/ct-dhd-caroline-dolehide-french-open-first-grand-slam-win-tl-0528-story.html |website=Chicago Tribune |date=May 28, 2018 |access-date=30 May 2018}} In the next few months, she also made her debuts at Wimbledon as a lucky loser and the US Open as a direct acceptance, but lost in the opening round in both tournaments.{{cite web |title=Garbine Muguruza fends off Naomi Broady to begin Wimbledon defense |url=http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/23986321/2018-wimbledon-women-first-round-matches |website=espnW |date=July 3, 2018 |access-date=27 July 2018}}{{cite web |title=Serena twirls to victory over Linette in US Open return |url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/serena-twirls-victory-over-linette-us-open-return |website=WTA Tennis |access-date=3 September 2018}} She also received a wild card into the US Open doubles draw with Christina McHale and reached the third round.

Following the US Open, Dolehide did not win multiple main-draw matches at a singles event again, until a $25k event in April 2019 where she finished runner-up to Barbora Krejčíková. Nonetheless, she dropped out of the top 200 since she was defending points from a $60k title. Dolehide fared better in doubles in the first half of the year, reaching two $100k finals. She finished runner-up at Bonita Springs in Florida with Usue Maitane Arconada, before winning a title at the Surbiton Trophy with Jennifer Brady. Dolehide continued to struggle in singles and reached a year-low of No. 283 in the singles rankings on 12 August 2019.

Her form began to rebound in a big way after she brought back two medals from the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. The first was a gold medal in doubles, pairing with Usue Arconada to make the 20 year-old duo the first American gold medalists in women's doubles at the Pan Am Games since Pam Shriver and Donna Faber in 1991 in Havana.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}} The next day, Dolehide earned a second-place finish in singles and added a silver medal to her haul.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}

Before the end of the year, she won another $60k title at the Charleston Pro to return to the top 200 of the singles rankings.
