Career

In September 2017, Glushko won the inaugural Anna and Michael Kahan Family Prize in Ramat Hasharon, claiming NIS 100,000 in support; Glushko was able to use the money to purchase equipment and to travel abroad for tournaments and training camps.^[3] In 2018, she won the $15k Akko hardcourt tournament.^[4]

In July 2022, at the $25k Corroios-Seixal hardcourt tournament, while ranked 268, Glushko upset No. 116 Vitalia Diatchenko.^[6]

Glushko made her WTA Tour debut at the 2022 Internationaux de Strasbourg.^[7]

Notes

^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
