Professional career

Dzalamidze made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2015 Nürnberger Versicherungscup in Germany, in the doubles draw partnering Sviatlana Pirazhenka.[2]

In 2021, she won her first two doubles titles at the Romanian Open in October and the Linz Open in November, partnering Kaja Juvan[6] and Kamilla Rakhimova[7] respectively.

Two years later, Dzalamidze won the Linz doubles title for the second time, partnering with Viktória Kužmová to defeat Anna-Lena Friedsam and Nadiia Kichenok in the final.[8]
