Tennis career

Early years

Partnering Jan Abaza, Chirico won her first $50k tournament at the 2013 Melbourne Pro Classic, defeating Asia Muhammad and Allie Will in the final.

She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2015 French Open after being awarded a wildcard into the event by the USTA.[4] She lost in the first round to the ninth seed Ekaterina Makarova, in straight sets.

Chirico won her first WTA Tour match at the 2015 Washington Open where she defeated Heather Watson. She then beat the top-30 player Alizé Cornet in a third set tie-breaker but lost to Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals.

2016–2018

In May 2016, Chirico won five qualifier and main-draw matches at the Madrid Open to reach the semifinals.[5] Later that month, she reached the main draw of the French Open through three qualifying wins and made it through to the second round.[6]

After reaching a career-high ranking of 58 in October 2016, Chirico dropped outside the top 500 in September 2018.[7]
