Biography

Arias is originally from Argentina, which she represented when she started playing on tour in the 1960s.[2]

She made the round of 16 at the 1970 French Open as a qualifier and was runner-up in the doubles at the 1971 Swedish Open, partnering Linda Tuero.[3]

In the early 1970s she married Chilean tennis player Jaime Pinto Bravo and began competing for her husband's country, including in two Federation Cup ties in 1974.[2]

Her three children are competitive squash players, who all won medals for Chile at the 2018 South American Games.[2][4]
