Early life

She also made her WTA Tour singles main-draw debut at the Luxembourg Open thanks to a wildcard, losing her first-round match to Tatjana Maria. Three weeks later, Andrianjafitrimo made her WTA 125 singles debut at the Open de Limoges; she entered the singles main draw as a wildcard and lost her first-round match to Carina Witthöft.

She received a wildcard for the singles main draw of the 2016 French Open (her Grand Slam singles main-draw debut), where she lost 0–6, 0–6 to the unseeded Wang Qiang. She also played in the girls' singles main draw of the French Open, losing in the second round to Lucrezia Stefanini.
