Biography

Sepúlveda made her debut for the Chile Fed Cup team as a 15-year old in 1984. She continued to play in the Fed Cup during her junior career and was a girls' singles quarter-finalist at the 1986 Wimbledon Championships.[1]

At the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana, Sepúlveda won a bronze medal in the women's doubles event, partnering Paula Cabezas.

Following a five-year absence, she returned to Fed Cup tennis in 1992, in the lead up to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, which she qualified for as a singles player. She was beaten in the first round of the Olympics by Sandra Cecchini.[2]

In 1996 she made another Fed Cup comeback and finished her career with appearances in a total of 16 ties.

gollark: > The Planck time is the unique combination of the gravitational constant G, the special-relativistic constant c, and the quantum constant ħ, to produce a constant with dimension of time. Because the Planck time comes from dimensional analysis, which ignores constant factors, there is no reason to believe that exactly one unit of Planck time has any special physical significance. Rather, the Planck time represents a rough time scale at which quantum gravitational effects are likely to become important. This essentially means that while smaller units of time can exist, they are so small their effect on our existence is negligible. The nature of those effects, and the exact time scale at which they would occur, would need to be derived from an actual theory of quantum gravity.
gollark: Oh, no, never mind, that's not it.
gollark: ... you mean the Planck time or something?
gollark: Actually, picolightyears sounds better as light picoyears.
gollark: Or maybe just light nanoseconds or something.
