She has dual Swiss-Italian citizenship and represented Italy from her professional debut in 2005 until January 2012, when she joined the Swiss tennis federation. Her highest singles ranking was no. 32, achieved on 10 June 2013.

Romina was born to parents Roberto and Romy in Jegenstorf. She is currently coached by her brother, Romeo Oprandi. Her favourite surface is clay.
Oprandi is a strong baseliner. She particularly enjoys playing drop shots.
Oprandi first came to prominence in the top tier of women's tennis when she reached the quarterfinals of a WTA Tier I event in Rome as a qualifier, barely missing out on a place in the semifinals with a loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova, 4–6, 7–5, 6–7. She then made appearances at the 2006 Wimbledon and the US Open, losing in the first round of each to difficult opponents: Francesca Schiavone and Svetlana Kuznetsova once again. After the end of her US Open campaign, Romina went on to win another ITF singles title at Denain, which was her best result for the rest of the 2006 season, struggling with injury problems and losing matches early in tournaments.
The beginning of 2007 saw Oprandi lose in the first round of the Tier IV event at Auckland to a lower-ranked player, Laura Granville, 3–6, 4–6. However, she then went on to another Tier IV event, this time in Hobart, and won a convincing match against a former top-20 player. Elena Likhovtseva, before losing to rising Indian star Sania Mirza in the second round. Her Australian Open hopes quickly came to a close after a tough first-round draw, pitting her against the 16th seed from Israel, Shahar Pe'er. She lost, 1–6, 3–6.
She then played in a Tier IV event in Pattaya City, Thailand, where she reached the round of 16. She lost to fourth-seeded Chinese player Peng Shuai in three sets. Romina then played in the Tier II event in Doha, where she lost to Sania Mirza in the first round, 6–4, 3–6. She then played Indian Wells and Miami, reaching the second round in Indian Wells, before losing to second-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova, and in the first round of Miami to American Meilen Tu.
