Tennis career
She debuted for the Mexico Fed Cup team in 1981, as a 17-year-old. In 1982 she secured a win for Mexico over Belgium when she had a straight sets win over Marion De Witte. This set up a second round tie against the United States and she came up against Martina Navratilova in the singles, which she lost in two sets. She also played a Fed Cup rubber against top Australian player Wendy Turnbull, in 1983, which she came close to winning having held four match points.[2][3]
At the 1983 Pan American Games in Caracas she won a bronze medal in the women's singles, with a win over Brazil's Silvana Campos in the playoff.[4][5]
From 1983 to 1986 she attended the University of Southern California on a tennis scholarship and was a member of two NCAA Championship winning teams. During this period she continued to represent Mexico in the Fed Cup and by the time she made her last appearance in 1985 had featured in a total of 12 ties. She made her first main draw on the WTA Tour at Rio de Janeiro in 1984 while she was in Brazil for the Fed Cup.[6]
Once she graduated, with a degree in business administration, she spent a year on the international circuit. With regular doubles partner Cecilia Fernandez, a teammate from USC, she made WTA Tour doubles quarter-finals at Berkeley in 1986 and Hilton Head in 1987. She competed in the main draw of the women's doubles at the 1987 French Open with Nicole Muns-Jagerman, where they were beaten in the first round by fourth seeds Elise Burgin and Rosalyn Fairbank.[7]
