Laura Samson (formerly known as Laura Samsonová; born 10 March 2008) is a Czech professional tennis player.[1]
She won the girls' doubles title at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and was a runner-up in girls' singles at the 2024 French Open. She was the first player born in 2008 or later to win a WTA Tour main draw match.[2]
In 2024, she changed her surname to the gender neutral form to be distinguished from another WTA Tour tennis player, Russian Liudmila Samsonova, with whom she shared the same abbreviated name (L. Samsonova).[3]
