Laura Pigossi Herrmann de Andrade (Portuguese: [ˈlawɾɐ piˈɡɔsi]; born 2 August 1994) is a Brazilian professional tennis player. She has a career-high singles ranking of No. 100 by the WTA, achieved on 29 August 2022, and a best doubles ranking of world No. 80, reached on 1 December 2025. Her most notable achievement was a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in doubles, with Luisa Stefani.
Pigossi plays mostly on the WTA Challenger Tour, where she has won one title in singles and four in doubles. On the ITF Circuit, she earned twelve singles and 44 doubles titles.
Pigossi has represented Brazil in multiple international competitions and has spoken positively about competing in her home country. Playing for Brazil Billie Jean King Cup team since 2013, Pigossi has a win-loss record of 10–15 in BJK Cup competition, as of July 2026.
Pigossi started playing tennis at the age of six at Club Athletico Paulistano in São Paulo, following her father and brother in the sport.
In 2009, at age 14, she travelled to compete on the ITF Junior Circuit, participating in the junior events at the US Open, Wimbledon and Roland Garros. In that same season, Pigossi earned her first points on the professional circuit.
On that period, Pigossi was studying at the Dante Alighieri school in São Paulo, but as she was already playing tennis, she and her family had an agreement that Pigossi had to make up for the missed classes. Then, Pigossi and her family decided to take her out of in-person schooling and she started to study remotely.
At the age of 15, she moved to Barcelona, where her brother had attempted to pursue tennis and later education.
Pigossi made her debut for Brazil in the Fed Cup (now Billie Jean King Cup).
Partnering with Nadia Podoroska of Argentina, Pigossi reached the quarterfinals of the doubles draw at the Rabat Grand Prix in Morocco, where they were defeated by Tímea Babos and Andrea Sestini Hlaváčková, the top seeds.
In October in Lagos, Nigeria, Pigossi won two consecutive ITF doubles titles, her 35th and 36th titles, which helped her break into the top 150 of the world doubles rankings.
2020–2021: Olympics doubles bronze medal, third longest game in history
In April 2021, Pigossi competed at the W25 event in Córdoba, and in her opening match she lost to Russian player Amina Anshba with scores of 7–5, 3–6, 7–5, in a contest that lasted 4 hours and 53 minutes, becoming the third-longest match in the history of professional women's tennis.
Pigossi is an Olympic bronze medallist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the doubles event. She and partne Luisa Stefani defeated Veronika Kudermetova and defending gold medallist Elena Vesnina to win the bronze medal. Pigossi and Stefani became the first Brazilians to obtain an Olympic medal in tennis history, surpassing Fernando Meligeni's campaign that took 4th place in 1996.
The medal was one of the most unexpected: the Brazilians got an Olympic spot at the last minute, confirmed one week before the Games opened, with Stefani ranked No. 23 in the doubles ranking and Pigossi only at No. 190. Although the Brazilian pair had lost in the only game they played together before, during the overall campaign they managed to save eight match points. In addition to the four in the bronze-medal match, they saved another four in the match against Czech duo Karolína Plíšková/Markéta Vondroušová in the round of 16.
2022: Wimbledon debut, top 100, first WTA Tour final
In 2022, she played her first qualifying competition at a major at the Australian Open. Pigossi had her first WTA Tour-level wins at Copa Colsanitas in Bogotá, Colombia, coming from the qualifying rounds and reaching the finals. The campaign in Bogotá included wins against Dayana Yastremska in the quarterfinals and top seed Camila Osorio in the semifinals before losing the final to Tatjana Maria. Consequently, Pigossi reached a new career-high of world No. 126 in the singles rankings on 11 April 2022.
In May, she reached two second rounds at WTA 125-level in Saint-Malo and Karlsruhe. At the French Open, Pigossi made the qualifying draw as the 16th seed. In June, she made her major debut at Wimbledon. At the Guadalajara Open, she made her main-draw debut at the WTA 1000-level as a lucky loser.
