Tennis career

Guzmán won two medals for Ecuador at the 1967 Pan American Games held in Winnipeg. She was a silver medalist in the women's doubles with Ana María Icaza and got a bronze in the mixed doubles partnering Pancho Guzmán.[1]

At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Guzmán took part in the demonstration and exhibition tennis tournaments, for third place finishes in both the women's singles and doubles exhibitions.[2]

Guzmán's best performances in grand slam tournaments were third round appearances at the 1969 French Open and 1970 Wimbledon Championships.

In 1972, towards the end of Guzmán's career, Ecuador entered the Federation Cup for the first time and she featured in all four ties. It was the only occasion that Ecuador have reached the second round of the World Group.[2]

gollark: I should really figure out which one of these days.
gollark: Not advanced ones really, just new and/or mildly useful ones.
gollark: Why the 😆? I'm serious. PotatOS uses a few CC:T features, probably optionallyish.
gollark: It should *work*, but you'll lose SPUDNET and skynet connectivity, among other things. Also it's slower as it has to fall back to emergency backup very uncool reading mode.
gollark: After all, without CC:T you can't run potatOS properly.
