Anastasija Sevastova (born 13 April 1990) is a professional tennis player from Latvia. She reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 11 in October 2018, after reaching her first Premier Mandatory final at the China Open. She has won four singles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as 13 singles and four doubles titles on the ITF Circuit.

In 2007, she qualified for the İstanbul Cup where she won her first career WTA match beating Anastasiya Yakimova. In the second round, she lost to fifth-seeded Alona Bondarenko.

In August 2009, she qualified for the main draw of the US Open and won her first match in a Grand Slam tournament by defeating Tamarine Tanasugarn.

In March 2010, Sevastova got one of the bigger wins of her early career by defeating world No. 9, Jelena Janković in the first round of the Monterrey Open and then reached the semifinals. Sevastova played at the Estoril Open and in her first match defeated top seed Ágnes Szávay in three sets. In the final of this tournament, her first WTA final, she beat Arantxa Parra Santonja in straight sets and won her first WTA title.

Sevastova started her year off at Brisbane with a quarterfinal loss to world No. 3 Osaka in three sets. She then went to the Australian Open and made her first second week at the event since 2011. She beat Barthel, Andreescu and Wang to lose to Osaka (who would go on to win the event and become world No. 1) again in three sets.

At the US Open, Sevastova stunned Garbiñe Muguruza in the second round in straight sets, then followed with wins over Kateryna Bondarenko and Johanna Konta, reaching her first Grand Slam quarterfinal.

After Wimbledon, Sevastova would bounce back and claim what she called her most cherished title. She won the inaugural event in Latvia, the Baltic Open in Jūrmala. She struggled through the event, getting taken to three sets in the second round against Dalila Jakupović and in the final against Katarzyna Kawa. However, she did take home the title, winning 3–6, 7–5, 6–4.

Sevastova began her grass-court season at Mallorca having reached the final the last three years in a row. She would make the semifinal and lose to the eventual champion Kenin in three sets. Wimbledon would turn out to be a disappointment as she made the second round and led 6–4, 3–0 against Collins. A match, if she won, would have secured her a top-ten entry. However, she would go onto lose in three sets.

Sevastova would go into Roland Garros in questionable form but she would make the second week of the event for the first time. She played an amazing match against Mertens in the third round saving five match points with winners. She won the match 9–7 in the third. She would come into the fourth round and lose to the eventual finalist Markéta Vondroušová, 2–6, 0–6.

In 2018, she reached her first Grand Slam semifinal, defeating defending champion and world No. 3, Sloane Stephens, in the quarterfinals, whom she had lost to at that same stage in 2017, before losing to Serena Williams.
