Tennis career
[edit]Popadić is most noted for her performance at the 2004 Copa Colsanitas Seguros Bolivar, a WTA Tour tournament held in Bogota. Going into the event with a ranking of 235, Popadić won her way through qualifying, then had wins in two main-draw matches, over world No. 61 Arantxa Parra Santonja and Antonella Serra Zanetti of Italy. She was beaten in the quarterfinals by second seed María Sánchez Lorenzo in three sets.[1]
Most of her career was played on the ITF circuit and she won one title in 2001, the doubles of a $10,000 tournament in Athens, where she was also runner-up in the singles that year.[2] She never made a Grand Slam main draw but participated in the qualifying draws for the Australian, French and US Opens. In 2005, she retired from professional tennis.
She now works as a lawyer in Zagreb as owner at Odvjetnički ured Lana Popadić Katić.[3]
