Fett's biggest title to date was at the 2015 Dunlop World Challenge, where she won the singles title, defeating Luksika Kumkhum in the final.

2017: WTA debut and two semifinals, top 100[edit]

At the 2017 Hobart International, she qualified for her first main draw of a WTA tournament making her WTA debut.^{[citation needed]} She reached her first WTA semifinal but lost to eventual champion and fellow qualifier, Elise Mertens.

Later in the year, she reached her second WTA semifinal at the Japan Women's Open, again coming through qualifying, while also scoring her first victory over a top 20 player, the top seed Kristina Mladenovic. She lost to fellow qualifier Miyu Kato after failing to convert a match point.^{[citation needed]} As a result, she made her top 100 debut on 18 September 2017.

2018: Grand Slam debut and first win[edit]

At the 2018 Australian Open, she appeared in the Grand Slam main draw for the first time as a direct entry^[4] and recorded her first Major win over Misa Eguchi. In the second round, she played against second seed Caroline Wozniacki and had two match points, leading 40/15 at 5–1 in the third set. However, she lost that game and the successive five games to yield the match.^{[citation needed]}

2022-2024: WTA 125 final, French Open debut[edit]

She qualified for the main draw of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships after three years of absence at the All England Club where she lost to world No. 1, Iga Świątek.^[5]

She reached the final at the WTA 125 2023 Dow Tennis Classic but lost to first-time WTA 125 titlist Anna Kalinskaya.^[6]

In April 2024, Fett won the biggest title in her career at the W100 2024 Oeiras CETO Open.^[7] On her debut at the 2024 French Open, she entered the main draw as a lucky loser and recorded her first win at this Major over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
