Biography

Rakhim, a right-handed player, made her debut for the Kazakhstan Fed Cup team in 2004, appearing in four ties.

From 2006 to 2007 she played college tennis in the United States for Wichita State and became only their second ever female to compete in the NCAA Division I Singles Championship.[1]

At the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, Rakhim and sister Amina were runners-up to Chinese Taipei's Chan Yung-jan and Chuang Chia-jung in the women's doubles, to claim a silver medal for Kazakhstan.[2]

In 2008 she featured in another four Fed Cup ties for her national team. She finished her Fed Cup career having lost only one of her four singles rubbers and in partnership with her sister was unbeaten in four doubles rubbers.

gollark: Again, clear would be "written in 50-foot letters of fire in the sky".
gollark: I don't consider this clear because it's not distinguished from the *other* religious books which also claim to be ultimate universal truth.
gollark: I don't think this justifies being punished forever, *infinitely*, especially since, as you said, part of it is a product of the environment. Guess which omnipotent god set up that environment?
gollark: No, this is also terrible. They only punish you *after* you do things, with no clear guide about what's acceptable and what isn't.
gollark: I mean, sure, but other people will be eternally tortured.
