Madison Brengle (born April 3, 1990) is an American professional tennis player currently on the WTA Tour. Her biggest success occurred in early 2015, reaching her first WTA final in January followed by a fourth round major appearance at the Australian Open; in May her ranking reached a career-best of No. 35 in the world.
Brengle toiled for years in the ITF Women's Circuit. Over the course of 24 consecutive majors she failed to make it out of the pre-tournament qualifier; the streak ended when she earned a wildcard for the 2014 US Open main draw, which she capitalized on for her first major match win. Her ranking soon rose into the world top 100 for the first time.
Brengle was born in Dover, Delaware. As a teenager she participated in an experimental USTA training regimen.
In 2006, Brengle won the Easter Bowl doubles championships with Kristy Frilling, defeating Sanaz Marand and Ashley Weinhold in the final. In 2007, Brengle reached the 2007 Australian Open girls' singles final, before going down to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Even though Brengle and Julia Cohen were the top seeds at the 2007 French Open girls' doubles competition, the team lost in the first round.
Seeded seventh, Brengle lost in the 2007 Wimbledon girls' singles competition to Urszula Radwańska, 2–6, 6–3, 6–0. Along with this singles performance, Brengle and Chelsey Gullickson reached the girls' doubles semifinals before losing to top seeds and eventual champions Pavlyuchenkova and Radwańska.
