College tennis

With the beginning of her professional career hampered by injuries, in 2015 Danilina decided to attend an American university so she could study and play college tennis. Danilina went to University of Florida, graduating in 2018 with a degree in Economics. As part of the Florida Gators women's tennis team, she won the 2017 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships.

Tennis career

2018

Partnering Berfu Cengiz, she won her first $80k tournament in July 2018 at the President's Cup, defeating Akgul Amanmuradova and Ekaterine Gorgodze in the final.

2021: First WTA title and top 100 debut in doubles, Grand Slam and WTA 1000 debut

At the Poland Open held in Gdynia, Danilina reached the final and won her first WTA doubles title, partnering with Lidziya Marozava. As a result she made her top 100 debut in doubles at world No. 96, on 26 July 2021. Afterwards she made her Grand Slam debut at the US Open, partnering Yaroslava Shvedova.

2022: Historic Australian Open final, top 20 in doubles

Danilina was playing an ITF tournament in Monastir, Tunisia, when Beatriz Haddad Maia invited her to serve as her partner in the 2022 Australian Open, following an injury to Nadia Podoroska. The team proved to work as they won the warm-up event Sydney International. At Grand Slam-level, Danilina became the first Kazakh woman to reach the final of the Australian Open after upsetting No. 2 seeds Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara in the semifinal. Danilina and Haddad Maia won the first set against Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková, but following a comeback from the Czech duo lost the final. However, with this performance, Danilina made her top 25 debut in the WTA doubles rankings, and on 28 February 2022 she reached the top 20. Danilina and Haddad appeared in most major tournaments afterwards, but did not go further than the second round, including at the French Open. She still got to two ITF titles in-between, Biarritz partnering Valeriya Strakhova, and Madrid, with Anastasia Tikhonova. She declined to appear at Wimbledon once the tournament was stripped of its ranking points for banning Russians and Belarusians.
