Introduction

Professional career

Falconi played college tennis at Georgia Tech where she was a two times ITA All-American and 2010 ACC Player of the Year.

She was given a wildcard into the 2010 US Open qualifying tournament and managed to qualify defeating Mona Barthel, Anastasia Pivovarova and Stéphanie Dubois, but lost in the main-draw first round to 19th seed Flavia Pennetta in straight sets.

At 2011 US Open was more successful for Falconi when she defeated Klára Zakopalová and 14th seed Dominika Cibulková, before losing to 22nd seed Sabine Lisicki in the third round.

She reached the third round at the 2015 French Open with wins over wildcard entrant Manon Arcangioli and qualifier Sesil Karatantcheva. Her run was ended by Julia Görges.

Falconi won her first, and only, WTA Tour title at the 2016 Copa Colsanitas, defeating Sílvia Soler Espinosa in the final.

In March 2020, she competed at the Indian Wells Challenger for the last time in a match on pro tour.

In 2021, it was reported that Falconi was working as a traveling coach for American tennis player Danielle Lao.
