Ruse also reached the semifinals of the 2014 Wimbledon girls' singles event in 2014 and the final of Eddie Herr. On the ITF Junior Circuit, she had a career-high combined ranking of 7, achieved on 18 May 2015.

Professional career

2015–2016: Rise up the rankings, WTA Tour debut

When Ruse finished her junior career, she still did not have a professional ranking.

In July 2015, Ruse made her WTA Tour main-draw debut as a wildcard at the Bucharest Open in the doubles event, partnering Jaqueline Cristian. She also received a wildcard into the qualifying draw in singles at the same tournament and beat Alexandra Cadanțu in the first round. She lost her next match to Maria Sakkari. She reached semifinals at $10k events in Bucharest and Antalya.

In December 2015, Ruse won her first professional singles title at Antalya, beating Ekaterine Gorgodze in the final. She finished 2015 with a year-end ranking of No. 642 in singles and No. 575 in doubles.

In January 2016, she qualified for the $25k event in Sunrise, beating former top-30 player Laura Robson along the way, and reached the quarterfinals. After that event, she won ten singles matches and eight doubles matches in a row and won two singles and two doubles titles at $10k events in Antalya. In March, Ruse reached two straight finals at $10k events in Hammamet, Tunisia. She lost the first one to Claudia Giovine in straight sets, snapping her 14-match winning streak in singles, and in the second one she beat Julia Grabher. At the end of April, Ruse qualified for a $25k event in Chiasso, Switzerland and reached the semifinals, where she lost to fellow qualifier Amanda Carreras.

After taking time off for her high school graduation, Ruse returned to competition in June at the $50k event in Essen, Germany. As the last direct acceptance, Ruse shocked top seed Aliaksandra Sasnovich in three sets for her first win over a top-100 player. Due to rain delays in Essen, she had to play her second-round match the same day and lost in straight sets to qualifier Olga Sáez Larra.

Ruse qualified for her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships.

2023: Australian Open doubles semifinal, first WTA singles final in more than two years

In doubles at the Australian Open, she reached the semifinals partnering Marta Kostyuk. She reached the second round at the Monterrey Open as a qualifier, defeating Mérida Open champion Camila Giorgi.

She qualified for her first and only Major of the season, in singles at the US Open.^[5] At the same tournament in doubles, she reached the third round with Kostyuk. Ranked No. 188, she reached her first final in more than two years and for the season as a wildcard at the 2023 Transylvania Open.^[6]

2024: French Open doubles semifinal
