Biography

Pulido, who comes from the Mexican state of Morelos, won two singles titles and five doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. She received a wildcard into the doubles event at the 2008 Mexican Open, partnering Melissa Torres Sandoval in her only WTA Tour main-draw appearance.[1]

A right-handed player, Pulido left the tour after the 2008 season to play college tennis in the United States for the USC Trojans.[2]

During her career, she represented Mexico in several international events, including three ties for the Mexico Fed Cup team in 2008, against Colombia, Canada and Paraguay. She won bronze medals for Mexico in the women's doubles at both the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games and 2011 Summer Universiade. At the 2011 Pan American Games she featured in the singles and doubles competitions, making the quarterfinals of the latter.
