2023–24: WTA, Major debut and fourth round, top 100

Timofeeva won her first WTA Tour title on her tour debut at the Budapest Grand Prix in July 2023, defeating Kateryna Baindl in three sets in the final. She became only the fourth lucky loser in WTA history to win a singles title and the ninth player to win a title on her tour debut; she was the second to do both at once, following Olga Danilovic at the 2018 Moscow River Cup. As a result she reached the top 125 in the rankings on 11 September 2023.

Ranked No. 170, she qualified for the 2024 Australian Open making her Grand Slam debut. She defeated Alize Cornet, former Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki and tenth seed Beatriz Haddad Maia to advance to her first fourth round on her Major debut. She reached the top 100 on 29 January 2024, moving up 70 positions.

Personal life

At the 2023 US Open, Timofeeva began a vlogging YouTube channel, Kiss My Ace, alongside friend and tennis player Ekaterina Kazionova, inspired by the vlog of Daria Kasatkina.
