Oleksandra Oliynykova Chases WTA 1000 Success
Oleksandra Oliynykova recently produced back-to-back impressive results by reaching the semifinals in Iași and the quarterfinals in Hamburg. The only concern is that she was forced to give a walkover during her Hamburg campaign due to an abdominal issue.
The Ukrainian has already enjoyed several notable runs on tour this season, including a semifinal appearance in Cluj-Napoca and third-round finishes in Rome and at the French Open. Those performances helped her achieve a career-high ranking of No. 44.
This is Oliynykova's debut appearance at the Canadian Open. She has played only two WTA 1000 main draws before this week and owns a 1-1 record in opening-round matches.
