Grachev takes 46th place in the WTA rankings. On the account of the Russian woman there are no titles won under the auspices of the organization. In early March, she reached the final of the WTA tournament for the first time – in the decisive match in Austin, she lost to Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk.
On March 27, it became known that Gracheva had applied for French citizenship. Since 2016, a Russian woman has predominantly lived in France. She trains at the Elite Tennis Center in Cannes.
After that, Gracheva has already lost four out of five matches. She was able to overcome the first round only in the American Charleston in early April.
The tournament in Rome, which belongs to the WTA-1000 category, will end on May 21st. The prize fund of the competition is €3.57 million.
