Contreras also participated in the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games with partner Giuliana Olmos taking gold in doubles and silver in team. She lost to reigning Olympic champion Monica Puig in singles before defeating Team Puerto Rico in doubles with Giuliana Olmos for the gold medal.[9][10]

In February 2020, Contreras participated in the 2020 Fed Cup Americas Zone Group I – Play-offs, representing Mexico. After defeating Peru, Mexico beat Team Chile in the semifinals, squaring off to face Paraguay in the finals. [11][12] Mexico defeated Paraguay 2–1 securing their spot in the Fed Cup World Group Qualifiers. [13][14] For her performance, Contreras was awarded the Fed Cup 2020 Americas Heart Award. [15]

2022: Major & WTA 1000 debuts and first wins, top 150 in singles

[edit]

At the French Open, Contreras qualified for the main draw to make her Grand Slam tournament debut.[16][17][18] She defeated Panna Udvardy in the first round,[19] before losing to 20th seed Daria Kasatkina.[20]

She qualified for her second and third major in a row at Wimbledon and the US Open.[21][22]

At the Pan Pacific Open, Contreras earned her first main-draw qualification in a WTA Tour event and defeated former top-10 player Sofia Kenin.[23] As a result, she reached the top 150, at No. 141 climbing 41 positions in the rankings.[24]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. ^ During the season, she did not play in the main-draw of any WTA Tour-level tournaments. However, she played at the Billie Jean King Cup that is not counted as a played tournament but matches counted.
