Career

Ekshibarova made her WTA Tour debut at the 2004 Tashkent Open, having received a wildcard into the doubles draw with Dilyara Saidkhodjayeva, but they lost to Ekaterina Bychkova and Maria Goloviznina in the first round.[4] Playing for Uzbekistan in the Fed Cup, Ekshibarova had a win–loss record of 1–9.[5]

In 2016, she became an Israeli citizen.[6] In June 2016, Ekshibarova decided to play for Israel instead of Uzbekistan.

In 2018, she played for the Israel Fed Cup team, going 0–3 in singles. In Fed Cup, she has an overall win–loss record of 1–14.
