2002-4
In her first three years on the ITF circuit, the young Russian competed in only seven tournaments and won just six matches – five of them in qualifying rounds, and just one in a $10,000 main draw, which was in fact her very first tournament, the event at Minsk in October 2002, where she won through qualifying and comfortably defeated Oksana Lyubtsova of the Ukraine in the first round proper before bowing out to Ekaterina Dzehalevich of Belarus in a close second-round match, 5–7 6–7.
In all, she entered herself for five $10,000 tournaments and two $25,000 tournaments, but did not qualify for either of the latter.
At no point in these years did she crack the WTA Top 1000, and no year-end ranking is recorded for her in either 2002 or 2004, though she finished 2003 ranked at No. 1067.
