Biography edit

A right-handed player from Sofia, Alawi competed on the professional ITF circuit while a junior, from 2005 to 2008.

Alawi featured in two ties for the Bulgaria Fed Cup team, against Great Britain and Poland in 2007, both times partnering Dessislava Mladenova.

In 2009 she left the tour to play and attend college in the United States, first at Long Beach State, then the University of South Carolina.[1]

While in South Carolina, Alawi and her college teammate Dominika Kaňáková received a wildcard to compete in the doubles at the 2013 Family Circle Cup, which was her only WTA Tour main draw appearance.[2]
