Jarmila Wolfe (née Gajdošová, formerly Groth; born 26 April 1987) is a Slovak-Australian retired tennis player. Wolfe has won two singles and one doubles title on the WTA tour in her career, as well as fourteen singles and nine doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. She won her first WTA title in 2006 emerging as the Nordea Nordic Light Open doubles champion, her first singles title came in 2010 at the Guangzhou International Open and the following year she won the 2011 Hobart International. In May 2011, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 25. On 27 August 2012, she peaked at world number 31 in the doubles rankings. Wolfe's greatest achievement to date came at the 2013 Australian Open, where she won the Mixed Doubles title with countryman Matthew Ebden.
Wolfe's father, Jan Gajdoš, is an engineer, as was her mother who died in September 2012; her older brother, Ján Gajdoš, was a professional skier. She enjoys biking. She married Australian tennis player Sam Groth in February 2009 and competed as Jarmila Groth from 2009 to 2011. When the couple were divorced in 2011, Wolfe reverted to her birth name. Following her marriage on 1 November 2015 to Adam Wolfe, from January 2016 on she was competing as Jarmila Wolfe. Wolfe supports the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Although she had already been playing in senior events for some years by the time, the highlights of her junior career came as she reached the semifinals at two junior Grand Slam tournaments. In the 2003 Wimbledon junior competition she lost in semifinal to the eventual winner Kirsten Flipkens. In the Australian Open junior competition, 2004, she reached semifinal in both singles and doubles (with Shahar Pe'er). Both times she lost to Nicole Vaidišová. Another success came in winning doubles at the Italian Open junior tournament in 2003 with Andrea Hlaváčková.
