The last tournament Margarita played was the 2021 French Open, when she lost to American Ann Li in the first round. She’s won two WTA titles (Baku 2015 and Tashkent 2018).
In March 2021, she finished runner-up to fellow Russian Daria Kasatkina at the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy. It was a heartbreaking moment, as Margarita was forced to retire due to a lower back injury.
