Current form
Although not very fast, Avanesyan is progressing on tour and is close to debuting in the top 50. Last week in Cincinnati, the representative of Armenia was unable to overcome the qualification, but as a lucky loser she got a chance to play in the main draw and made it to the 1/8 finals. In Monterrey, Elina started with a victory over Cocharetto (7-6, 6-1). The first set was key in that match; in the second set, the Italian practically did not resist.
