'''Julia Olehivna Vakulenko''' ({{langx|uk|Юлія Оле́гівна Вакуленко}}; born 10 July 1983) is a Ukraine-born former [[tennis]] player. She achieved her career-high [[WTA rankings|ranking]] of No. 32 in November 2007.

In April 2008, Vakulenko [[Renunciation of citizenship|renounced]] her [[Ukrainian citizenship]], and then announced her decision to acquire the [[Spanish citizenship|citizenship of Spain]] where she's lived for the last ten years.<ref name=korr>[http://korrespondent.net/sport/tenis/442457 Известная теннисистка отказалась от украинского гражданства], ''[[korrespondent.net]]'', April 23, 2008</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20140322022241/http://uk.reuters.com/article/tennisNews/idUKSP23286020080423 Tennis – One of Ukraine's top players, Yulia Vakulenko, has opted to take out Spanish citizenship], [[Reuters]], Apr 23, 2008</ref>

==Career==
At the [[2006 French Open]], Vakulenko reached the [[2006 French Open – Women's singles|third round]].
At the [[2006 Wimbledon Championships]], she withdrew during the first round due to injury.

Julia became [[Kim Clijsters]]' last opponent in her professional career (before Clijsters' return in 2009). Vakulenko won 7–6<sup>(3)</sup>, 6–3 in the second round of [[J&S Cup]] in Warsaw, Poland on 3 May 2007. This earned her the nickname "Kimmie Killer".

A week later, Julia defeated world No. 3, [[Amélie Mauresmo]], at the [[Qatar Telecom German Open|German Open]] in Berlin, 2–6, 6–1, 6–2 (her career best), and then defeated [[Dinara Safina]], 6–3, 5–7, 6–3, before retiring in the first set in the semifinals to eventual champion [[Ana Ivanovic]] due to an injury.

On 28 August 2007, in the first round of the [[2007 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], Julia defeated ninth seed [[Daniela Hantuchová]], 6–4, 3–6, 6–1. She eventually reached the fourth round, her best performance at a major, before falling to [[Ágnes Szávay]].

At the final event of the season, the [[Bell Challenge]] held in Quebec City, Vakulenko reached the first [[WTA Tour]] final of her career. En route, she beat [[Rossana de los Ríos]], home favourite [[Stéphanie Dubois]], [[Olga Govortsova]] and [[Julie Ditty]]. In the final, she lost 4–6, 1–6 to three-time Grand Slam champion [[Lindsay Davenport]], who was playing in only her third event since giving birth.

After changing of her citizenship from Ukraine to Spain in April 2008, she planned to play for [[Spain Fed Cup team|Spain]] in the [[Fed Cup]], but wasn't able to compete in the [[2008 Olympics]] due to lack of time to be included in Spain's application.<ref name=korr/>
