Romina Oprandi

Swiss Italian tennis player

Romina Sarina Oprandi (born 29 March 1986) is a retired tennis player. She has dual Swiss Italian citizenship and represented Italy from her professional debut in 2005 until January 2012, when she joined the Swiss tennis federation. She has won 26 singles titles and 11 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit, and also one doubles title on the WTA Tour. On 10 June 2013, she achieved a career high singles ranking of world No. 32.

Romina was born to parents Roberto and Romy in Jegenstorf. She is currently coached by her brother, Romeo Oprandi. Her favourite surface is clay. Oprandi is a strong baseliner. She particularly enjoys playing drop shots.

Oprandi first came to prominence in the top tier of women's tennis when she reached the quarterfinals of a WTA Tier I event in Rome as a qualifier, losing to Svetlana Kuznetsova, 4–6, 7–5, 6–7. Romina won an ITF singles title at Denain, which was her best result for the rest of the 2006 season.

Oprani played several tournaments on the main tour, including the Australian Open, Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Amelia Island, Charleston, Rome, and the French Open. At Barcelona, she retired in the first round. Romina then did not play for the rest of the 2007 season and the first half of the 2008 season due to a right forearm injury. She returned to tennis in August 2008 at an ITF event in Monteroni d'Arabia, Italy. She won an ITF tournament in Wahlstedt, Germany and reached the final in Mestre, Italy. Oprandi played in her first WTA Tour event in over 18 months 2009 in Bogotá, Colombia where she lost in the first round, 6–3, 6–7, 6–7. She won the doubles title at Buchen, partnering Sandra Martinović.

On 12 August 2012, Oprandi defeated Anna Chakvetadze 5–7, 6–3, 6–3 to win the Bronx Open singles title held in New York. She reached two WTA Tour semifinals in 2013, in Oeiras and Brussels, but then suffered a shoulder injury which kept her out of action for eight months. In April 2014, Oprandi reached her first WTA Tour final at the third time of asking by beating top seed Daniela Hantuchová in the semifinals at the Marrakech Grand Prix. She lost to María Teresa Torró Flor in the final, in three sets. The same day, she won her first WTA Tour doubles title at the same tournament, partnering with Garbiñe Muguruza to defeat Katarzyna Piter and Maryna Zanevska in the final.

Only main draw results in WTA Tour, Grand Slam tournaments, Fed Cup and Olympic Games are included in win–loss records.
