Candiotto started playing tennis at a very young age and played in many youth tournaments. In her teenage years, she participated in several competitions organized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), where she had the opportunity to compete against some of the world's best young tennis players.[2][3][1]
In 2020, she received a wildcard for the girls' singles event at the 2020 French Open, but lost in the first round to Matilda Mutavdzic 5–7, 1–6.[4][5]
In 2021, she was awarded a wildcard for the main draw of the women's singles event at the 2021 Aberto da República, a tournament with a prize pool of $60,000. She lost in the first round to You Xiaodi.
In 2022, she competed in the girls' singles event at the 2022 Australian Open, losing in the first round to Tereza Valentová with scores of 3–6, 2–6.[6] In the girls' doubles event, she partnered with Li Yu-yun but was defeated in the first round by Charlotte Kempenaers-Pocz and Taylah Preston with scores of 1–6, 6–1, [6–10].[7][8]
At the 2022 Junior Wimbledon, she entered the main draw of the girls' singles event as a lucky loser, but lost her opening match to the top seed and eventual champion Liv Hovde, with a score of 4–6, 1–6.[9] In October, she competed in the women's singles event at the 2022 South American Games and reached the round of 16 after defeating Agustina Cuestas. However, she was eliminated in the next round by María Herazo González with a score of 5–7, 4–6. At the end of 2022, she won her first ITF doubles title.[2]
Throughout 2022 and 2023, Candiotto also participated in tournaments across various ITF categories, starting from the lowest level and moving up as her ranking increased. Candiotto won several doubles titles: an event held in Antalya, Turkey with her Russian partner Daria Lodikova in February 2023[10] and another championship in Antalya two weeks later.[11] At the W25 ITF event, the 2023 São Paulo Tennis Classic, Candiotto won her eighth doubles title of the season.[12][13][14]
2024-2025: BJK Cup and WTA debuts and first win
Candiotto won her first singles title at the W15 ITF event, the 2024 São Paulo Tennis Classic.[15][16][17] She then competed on the European circuit, in tournaments in Greece and Spain, where she won her biggest title to date at the ITF event in Spain.[18] The victory took her to her best ranking position at that time.[19]
In December 2024, Candiotto was invited to train with the Brazil Billie Jean King Cup team, as part of a program supporting Brazilian tennis players on the international circuit.[20] At a WTA 125 event in December, the 2024 MundoTenis Open, contested in Florianópolis, she was given a wildcard to participate alongside Luiza Fullana.[21]
In March 2025, Candiotto was called by the Brazilian Tennis Confederation to participate at the Billie Jean King Cup in April and join the Time Brasil BRB for the first time in her career.[22]
Candiotto made her WTA Tour debut as a wildcard, on home soil, at the 2025 SP Open where she defeated Valeriya Strakhova recording her first WTA win.[23]
In October 2025, Candiotto won the doubles title of an ITF W35 tournament at the Paineiras do Morumby club in São Paulo, Brazil. She played alongside fellow Brazilian Nauhany Vitória Leme da Silva and defeated the duo of Argentinian Jazmín Ortenzi and Colombian María Paulina Pérez at the final. This was her 13th ITF doubles title.[24][25][26]
In November, Candiotto played at a WTA 125 in Cali, Colombia, partnering with fellow Brazilian Laura Pigossi and winning the final in straight sets against Ekaterine Gorgodze and Nicole Fossa Huergo. This was the first doubles title at a WTA 125 tournament for Candiotto.
In December, Candiotto won her 4th doubles title of the year in Lima, Peru on an ITF W15 tournament. Candiotto and Argentinian Luciana Moyano defeated Julia Konishi and Jamaican Najah Dawson by 6-4, 6-1.[27]
