In September 2022, she won her first WTA 125 title when she defeated Nuria Brancaccio in the final of the Bari Open, in straight sets.[3] As a result, she reached the top 100, at No. 97 on 12 September 2022.[1] Three weeks later, as the top seed, she would beat Aliona Bolsova and win the final of the $60k Open de San Sebastián, her third ITF Circuit title in 2022.[4]
2023: Maiden WTA Tour final & major debut
Grabher made her Grand Slam tournament debut at the Australian Open,[5] losing to 16th seed Anett Kontaveit in the first round.[6] She then qualified to make her WTA 1000 debut at the Dubai Championships but again lost in the first round, this time to Leylah Fernandez.[7]
At the WTA 500 Charleston Open, Grabher reached the third round, defeating 10th seed Zhang Shuai, her first top-30 win,[8] and qualifier Sachia Vickery,[9] before losing to seventh seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.[10] Entering as a lucky loser at the 2023 Madrid Open, she won her first WTA 1000-level match, defeating another lucky loser, Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova,[11] but lost in the second round to top seed Iga Świątek.[12] At the 2023 Italian Open, she went one step further to reach the third round of a WTA 1000 event for the first time in her career, defeating wildcard Nuria Brancaccio[13] and upsetting 26th seed Jil Teichmann,[14][15] before losing to eighth seed Daria Kasatkina.[16] As a result, she moved 15 positions up in the rankings, to a new career high of world No. 74, on 22 May.[17]
Grabher reached her maiden WTA Tour final at the 2023 Morocco Open in Rabat, after a three-set win over Julia Riera in the semifinals.[18] However, she lost the final to Lucia Bronzetti, also in three sets.[19] She won her first match at the 2023 French Open defeating Arantxa Rus,[20] before losing to sixth seed Coco Gauff.[21]
In July, Grabher made her main-draw debut at Wimbledon, but lost to Danielle Collins.[22] Seeded fifth at the Hamburg European Open, she reached the second round with a three-set win over Miriam Bulgaru,[23] before losing to Diana Shnaider.[24] In August, Grabher became the first Austrian to win a title at a $100k tournament, at the ITF Maspalomas in Gran Canaria, Spain, defeating Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro in the final and climbing to world No. 54 as a result.[25]
A win over qualifier Wang Xiyu[26] saw her reach the second round at the 2023 Tennis in Land in Cleveland, where she lost to Zhu Lin.[27] Grabher suffered a wrist injury shortly before the US Open and was forced to end her season early.[28]

Six months after having surgery on her wrist, Grabher made her comeback to competitive action at the 2024 Antalya Challenger in March 2024, losing in the first round to Noma Noha Akugue in three sets.[29] Using her protected ranking, she entered the 2024 US Open, but lost in the first round to qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse.[30]
In October 2025, Grabher won her second WTA 125 title, claiming the trophy at the 2025 Engie Open in Florianópolis, Brazil, defeating Carole Monnet in the final.[31] As a result, she returned to the top 100, for the first time since November 2023, on 29 October 2025 at world No. 93.[32][1]
