In the final qualifying match, Snihur faced Switzerland's Rebecca Masarova.

The Ukrainian won the first set of the match in 12 games, while in the second set, she was more dominant: Snihur conceded only two games to her opponent.

Five other Ukrainians will also compete in the tournament – Marta Kostyuk, Elina Svitolina, Dayana Yastremska, Angelina Kalinina, and Yulia Starodubtseva.
