Early life

From Sádaba, in the province of Zaragoza, Aragon, she started playing tennis relatively late at ten years-old. She won her first title on the ITF Junior Circuit in Luxembourg in 2017. She reached the top 50 in the world junior rankings and played in all four junior Grand Slam tournaments and started competing on the ITF Circuit at the age of 19. Around that time, she began training at Reial Club de Tennis Barcelona-1899 with José María Arenas and Jesús Sánchez.[3][4][5]

Career

In March 2022, Martínez Círez won her first professional title in Marrakech, defeating German player Chantal Sauvant 6–2, 6–0, in the final.[6]

In July 2023, she won the Punta Cana tennis tournament in the Dominican Republic, defeating Ekaterina Makarova. She subsequently entered qualification for a major for the first time at the US Open.[7] She was beaten by home player Ann Li in the first round of qualifying.[8]

In January 2024, Martínez Círez played in the qualifying rounds for the Australian Open, where she lost to Polina Kudermetova.[9] She reached quarterfinals of the Zaragoza Open on the 2024 ITF Women's World Tennis Tour. In April, in qualifying for the Madrid Open, she played Hungarian Anna Bondár and won in straight sets.[10]

Martínez Círez was awarded a wildcard into the 2025 Madrid Open for her first WTA 1000 main-draw match, losing to qualifier and fellow debutant Maya Joint in the first round, in three sets.[11][12] Martínez Círez also received a main-draw wildcard for the 2026 Madrid Open but lost again in round one.
