In 2006, her debut on the ITF Junior Circuit came at the age of 13. She played her first tournament at the first Open Junior International Chile, in May, and reached the quarterfinals, before losing to Argentinian player Ornella Caron, in straight sets. In 2007, she won her first singles title at the second Junior Open Chile, in October.

In 2008, she reached one final, at the Copa Gobierno Bolivariano de Carabobo in Valencia, Venezuela. In 2009, she won the Vina Junior Open, by defeating her compatriot Cecilia Costa Melgar in the final, in straight sets.

In 2010, she played her last junior tournament, at the 27th Copa Gerdau in Porto Alegre, Brazil where she was stopped in the second round by Slovak player Jana Čepelová.

Professional career

[edit]

Seguel made her debut at the professional level in 2007, at a $10k tournament in Santiago, Chile. In singles, she lost in the first round to Vivian Segnini.

In July 2010, she reached her first ITF singles final in La Paz, Bolivia. She lost the final in straight sets to Colombian player Karen Castiblanco and in November she won her first ITF title at a $10k in Concepción, Chile, alongside compatriot Fernanda Brito. In singles, she won her first title in April 2011, at a $10k event in Córdoba, Argentina.

Her biggest ITF title in singles came at the $60k Barcelona Women World Winner, in June 2017.
