Rebecca Peterson, Swedish tennis player
Rebecca Peterson (born 6 August 1995) is a Swedish professional tennis player. She has been ranked as high as singles No. 43 and doubles No. 95 in the world by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Peterson has reached two singles finals on the WTA Tour in 2019, winning both of them. She also reached one WTA Tour doubles final in 2015, in which she also succeeded to win the title. On the ITF Circuit, she won 12 singles and six doubles titles.

She made her breakthrough into the top 100 in May 2018, so she could play in main-draw at most of the WTA tournaments. She got most recognition in 2019, when she won two singles titles and also made her first top-ten win, against Sloane Stephens at the Washington Open. Also, in 2019, she entered top 50 for the first time. She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2017 US Open where she lost in the first round to Denisa Allertová. Among other players, Rebecca is most famous for her aggressive style of play, and she loves to force her forehand. During the 2018 season, she and Johanna Larsson took turns for the Swedish No. 1 in the WTA rankings. After Larsson's retirement in February 2020, Peterson was left as the only female Swedish inside the top 100.
