Sacha Jones began 2009 ranked 306 in the world. She had a mediocre season on the ITF circuit up until September when she embarked on a 24 match winning streak. At a tournament in Darwin, Jones won her second title of the year, recording a win over former top 10 player Alicia Molik who is working on a comeback. Two weeks later she won another title in Australia, defeating Molik in the final. The next week Jones run continued in Port Pirie, where she again defeated Molik in the final. Jones then traveled to Rock Hill where she won another tournament without dropping a set. The following week Jones again raced to another final in Phoenix, but had her run snapped by Varvara Lepchenko. After this run of good form, Jones was ranked at a career high of 167 in the world.
Jones was set to compete in the ASB Classic but had to withdraw due to an abdominal injury.
Jones featured in the ASB Classic as a wildcard draw in which she was defeated by Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round.
Jones started off at the 2012 ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand as a wildcard where she lost her first-round match to Elena Baltacha in three sets. After this event, Jones would now represent Australia, after representing New Zealand for a number of years.
