Veronika Podrez (Ukrainian: Вероніка Подрез; born 11 January 2007) is a Ukrainian tennis player. She has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 142 by the WTA, achieved 18 May 2026, and a best doubles ranking of No. 451, reached on the same date.
Podrez won her first W75 title at Poitiers in the singles draw.
Ranked at world No. 209, she qualified to make her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2026 Open de Rouen and defeated wildcard entrant Sloane Stephens in the first round. Podrez then overcame seventh seed Elisabetta Cocciaretto in three sets for her first win against a top-50 ranked player and to reach the quarterfinals. Next she defeated Katie Boulter in straight sets to make it into the semifinals. Podrez then advanced to the final via walkover when her scheduled last four opponent, second seed Sorana Cirstea, withdrew before their match due to a leg injury. She lost the championship match to top seed Marta Kostyuk in straight sets, in what was the first WTA Tour final contested by two Ukrainian players. As a result of her performance at the tournament, Podrez broke into the top-150 in the WTA rankings for the first time on 20 April 2026, reaching world No. 147.
Podrez was born in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast, but has lived with her parents in France since 2012.
