Career

She was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. Her father Volodymyr is a former tennis player who represented Ukraine in the Davis Cup, and currently is a coach in Hamburg.[2] Lys' older sister Lisa Matviyenko is also a tennis player.[3] She went to school at the Sportgymnasium Alter Teichweg in Hamburg, from where Marvin Möller and Carina Witthöft also graduated.[3] She still has family in Ukraine, and after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine she complained of some Russian players' "disrespectful" behaviour.[4]

She has a career-high WTA ranking of world No. 116 in singles, achieved on 13 February 2023. As a junior she participated in the 2020 Australian Open, winning in the qualifiers but losing in the first round. She has won three singles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.

Lys made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2021 Hamburg European Open when she received a wildcard into the doubles draw, partnering Noma Noha Akugue. They lost to Mona Barthel and Mandy Minella in the first round.[5] Lys made her singles debut at the 2022 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, coming through the qualifying and beating Viktorija Golubic in the first round,[6] before she lost to world No. 1, Iga Świątek, in the second.[7]

She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2023 Australian Open.[8]
