In 2018, Goerges was a great success: she won singles titles in Auckland and Luxembourg, reached her first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon and made her debut in the top 10, culminating at No 9 August 20th. She finished the last two years at No. 14 worldwide, the best year-end ranking of her career.
This year also began in a vivid way. No. 2 German defended her title in Auckland for her seventh career title, beating the young teenager Bianca Andreescu in the final. Goerges also won the Top 10 twice during the year, against Caroline Wozniacki in Auckland and Karolina Pliskova at the Fed Cup.

But the clay court season was less successful for Goerges, with a 1-5 record to the surface, with two retirements while she was struggling with health problems. Goerges retired during his first-round match in Stuttgart due to a neck injury and stopped his tipping in the second round in Rome due to a right thigh injury.
The injury to the right thigh forced Goerges to withdraw from Nurnberg the week before the Open de France. Sunday, she lost in the first round at Roland-Garros. She had fallen to double quarterfinals and former world No. 15 Kaia Kanepi, 7-5, 6-1.
