Despite the fact that she starts very young, it is not until 2021 that she enters the TOP10 ranking of the World Padel Tour circuit , managing to proclaim herself as a finalist and on many occasions as a winner.

On the court Tamara’s position is backhand , a more complex position but one that allows her to cover a large part of the court. This place allows him to play a much more powerful game, so he plays a much more offensive game.
