She reached a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 11 in September 2021, and has won five WTA Tour titles, most notably the 2021 Dubai Championships alongside Darija Jurak. Guarachi reached her only Grand Slam tournament final at the 2020 French Open with Desirae Krawczyk, and the pair were semifinalists at the 2021 US Open. They also qualified for the 2021 WTA Finals.
