Luisa Veras Stefani (Portuguese:[luˈizɐˈvɛɾassteˈfɐni]; born 9 August 1997) is a Brazilian professional tennis player, and the first Brazilian woman to reach the WTA top 10. She reached the milestone on 1 November 2021 when she rose to world No. 9 in doubles.[2] On 20 May 2019, she reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 431. She had a career-high combined junior ranking of No. 10 on 30 March 2015.
She won the mixed doubles at the 2023 Australian Open with compatriot Rafael Matos, becoming the first Brazilian pair to win a Grand Slam title.
Stefani is a bronze medalist in women's doubles from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Representing Brazil, she partnered with Laura Pigossi to defeat Veronika Kudermetova and defending gold medalist Elena Vesnina in the bronze medal match. Stefani and Pigossi were only granted entry to the Olympics one week before the 2020 Games opened, with Stefani ranked world No. 23 in the doubles ranking and Pigossi at No. 190, and had played together once, a defeat at the 2020 Fed Cup, and yet became the first Brazilians to obtain an Olympic tennis medal, surpassing the performance of Fernando Meligeni that took 4th place in men's singles in 1996. During the campaign, they saved eight match points: four in the bronze medal match and another four against Czechs Karolína Plíšková and Markéta Vondroušová in the round of 16.[3][4][5]
