She also won the girls' doubles championship with Chloe Beck. Emma and Chloe were also runners-up at the 2019 Australian Open girls' doubles competition.
Emma enrolled at the University of Virginia in 2020. She had a 25-1 record in singles competition during her first year and won the 2021 NCAA Singles championship. The following year, she achieved a 26-2 record, losing in the round of 16 at the 2022 NCAA championship. Following her sophomore season, she left the University of Virginia and began her professional career.
Emma's first full year on the WTA Tour was 2023. She won her first match at a major in the 2023 French Open, before losing in the second round. She reached the semifinals of the Bad Homburg Open that year and was runner-up at the Swedish Open. She also reached the final of the San Diego Open that year and finished the season ranked 38th.
The following season, Emma won her first WTA title, the Hobart International in Australia, in January 2024. That victory resulted in her first seeding in a major – she was seeded 27th in that year's Australian Open. She reached the third round of that tournament, and her ranking placed her in the top 25 for the first time in her career. Emma continued to improve throughout the year, reaching the fourth round at the French Open, the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, and the semifinals of the U.S. Open. She ended the 2024 season ranked 8th in the world and was named the Most Improved Player of the year.
Emma continued her good play into the 2025 season, making the quarterfinals at the Australian Open before losing to Iga Swiatek, the second seed. Emma was the top seed at the Merida Open in March 2025 and won the tournament with an overpowering 6-0, 6-0 final. However, toward the end of that season, Emma suffered a slump in her play, which lasted into early 2026. By the end of March, she stepped away from the tour to deal with "health struggles," which she said she had been battling for several months.
Upon her return, Emma quickly resumed her good play, winning the Strasbourg Open in May. She then reached the finals of the Nottingham Open, her first grass court final. She then made it to the third round of both the Bad Homburg Open and Wimbledon.
