Dellacqua won her biggest women's doubles title to date at the Premier Mandatory 2015 Mutua Madrid Open, winning the title with Yaroslava Shvedova. Dellacqua achieved her career-high singles ranking of No. 26 in September 2014, and career-high doubles ranking of No. 3 in February 2016.
Dellacqua lived in Woodvale, Western Australia. She attended Woodvale Primary School from kindergarten to Year 7 and then Woodvale Senior High School, before moving to Canberra to train with the Australian Institute of Sport at the age of sixteen. Throughout her early life she was an active member of local tennis clubs and teams.
