2017: First WTA Title
Kateřina Siniaková won her first WTA singles title at Shenzhen Open. The tournament began by defeating Shuai Peng in the first round in two sets. In the second round she edged Simona Halep, world no. 4, in three sets (7–5 in the third) and claimed first win over top10 player. Her run continued by beating qualifier Nina Stojanovic and world no. 9 Johanna Konta in three sets. In the final she defeated Alison Riske 6–3, 6–4 and won first WTA title. Then she moved to Melbourne but lost to Julia Gorges in the first round.
After that she moved to Taiwan Open. In the first round she edged Galina Voskoboeva in three sets, but then lost easily to Shuai Peng. On February she was nominated to the Fed Cup for the first time by captain Petr Pála. A reason of the nomination is clear - Kateřina was the third best woman Czech tennis player (with Petra Kvitová´s injury) after Karolína Plíšková and Barbora Strýcová, but the captain announced, that Siniaková will especially collect experience.
