Čurović made her WTA Tour main-draw debut in doubles at the 2013 Gastein Ladies, partnering Chiara Scholl.

At the same tournament, Čurović lost in the first round of the singles qualifying. To date, her only other WTA Tour main-draw appearance in doubles was at the 2014 Bucharest Open, partnering with Elitsa Kostova and losing in the first round.
