## Personal life

[edit]

Bolsova moved from Moldova to Spain at a young age. Her father, Vadim Zadoinov, and her mother, Olga Bolșova, were both Olympic athletes, and so were her maternal grandparents, athletes Viktor Bolshov and Valentyna Maslovska.[2]

She represented Moldova from 2012 to 2013, until she gained Spanish citizenship in 2013.

## College career

[edit]

Bolsova played for Oklahoma State University's tennis team as a freshman in the 2016–17 season in NCAA play. There, her record was 31–7 in singles and 25–7 in doubles.[3] Her tenure included helping OSU's team reach the final of the 2017 Big 12 Conference championship[4] and the quarterfinals of the 2017 NCAA tournament.[5]

In 2018, Bolsova played for Florida Atlantic University, going undefeated in singles with a record of 19–0. In doubles, she went 15–3. Bolsova turned professional following the Conference USA championship of 2018.[6][1]

## Professional career

[edit]

At the 2019 French Open, she qualified for the main draw[7] and reached the fourth round on her Grand Slam debut in which she lost to Amanda Anisimova.[8][9][10]

She entered the 2023 French Open as a lucky loser, after an absence in the main draw at this major since 2020, and won her first-round match against Kristína Kučová.
