Ozaki made her WTA Tour debut at the 2013 Tashkent Open, having entered the qualifying tournament and defeating Veronika Kapshay and Ksenia Palkina for a spot in the main draw.

She was subsequently beaten in the second round by Nastassja Burnett in a final-set tiebreak.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. ^ In 2014, the Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
