Biography

edit

Gutiérrez represented Colombia in the Federation Cup from 1992 to 1994, in a total of seven ties. This included one World Group tie, against Germany in Frankfurt in 1994, which she featured in as a doubles player.

At the 1998 Central American and Caribbean Games in Maracaibo, Gutiérrez won a bronze medal for Colombia in the women's singles competition.[1]

Most of her professional career was played on the ITF Circuit, but she did appear in the Copa Colsanitas, a WTA Tour tournament in Bogotá. She fell in the final round of the singles qualifying draw in 1998 and 1999, then featured in the doubles main-draw in 2000, reaching the quarterfinals.[2]
