WTA has agreed to put a :FRA flag next to Varvara Gracheva from next week in Bad Homburg. She hasn't received the French passport yet.

 

French women's tennis is so bad these days that Gracheva will become the French #2 right away (behind Caroline Garcia).

Can she compete in the 2024 Olympics?

 

I think so. There is no Olympic tennis qualifying per se, the WTA ranking is the official measuring stick and French women have completely lost depth in the last few seasons. Other than Garcia & Cornet there is nobody who can play at Gracheva level atm. Parry & Paquet have stalled, Ferro was out injured and Mladenovic is a joke in singles these days.

Isn't she required to have competed in BJK Cup or have an exemption from ITF?
