Brantmeier has a career-high singles ranking by the WTA of No. 411, achieved on August 1, 2022.[3] On October 3, 2022, she peaked at No. 236 in the doubles rankings.
Brantmeier was born to Scott and Becky Brantmeier and raised near Whitewater, Wisconsin.[2] Her father is a doctor and she has two brothers.[2] She began online schooling and living out of a hotel room with her mother while training at the United States Tennis Association's National Campus in Orlando, Florida.[2]
Brantmeier won the 2019 United States 16s national title.[4] She finished second at the 2021 United States 18s national championship, losing to Ashlyn Krueger.[4]
At the 2022 US Open, she and Clervie Ngounoue received a wildcard to the women's doubles tournament.[5]
Brantmeier began playing college tennis for the North Carolina Tar Heels in the spring of 2023.[6] She missed playing in the fall of 2022 because the NCAA ruled her ineligible for collecting a certain amount of prize money during high school, despite her family's efforts to comply with the rules.[7] At the 2023 NCAA Championships, Brantmeier helped North Carolina win their first national team title. Playing in the team's No. 1 spot in place of Fiona Crawley, she beat multiple ranked players during their run, including national No. 3 Lea Ma of Georgia in the semifinals.[8] Though she lost 6–3, 6–4 to North Carolina State standout Diana Shnaider in her singles match in the final, she and Reilly Tran won the deciding doubles match that gave North Carolina an early 1–0 lead.[9][10] Brantmeier additionally reached the NCAA doubles tournament final with Elizabeth Scotty, losing to North Carolina teammates Crawley and Carson Tanguilig.[11]
Brantmeier swept the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Fall National Championships in the fall of 2023, winning national titles in singles and doubles with Scotty.[12]
