Career

2020–2021: ITF Circuit titles

In December 2020, Bouzas Maneiro reached her first professional singles final at the $15k Torneo Internacional de Tenis Ciudad Raqueta in Madrid, but was defeated by Conny Perrin. The following month, in January 2021, she won her maiden singles title at the $15k event in Cairo, defeating Chantal Škamlová in the final. In March 2021, she reached the final of the $15k Internationaux de Tennis Féminin in Gonesse, but lost to Marine Partaud. At the $15k Open du Havre in Le Havre, she reached the quarterfinals, eventually losing to Léolia Jeanjean. In June 2021, she won another title at the $15k event in Heraklion and reached the final of the $25k Ciudad Raqueta event in Madrid.

2022–2023: Major and United Cup debuts

In February 2022, she won the $15k event in Villena, defeating Ashley Lahey in the final. A month later, she won her second title of the year at the $15k Vilas Academy Calvià Open in Palma Nova. In May, she reached the final of the $25k event in Platja d'Aro, but lost to compatriot Guiomar Maristany. At the end of June, she won the bronze medal in singles and a gold medal in doubles at the Mediterranean Games. Partnering Maristany, they defeated the Maltese pair of Francesca Curmi and Elaine Genovese to clinch the medal.

In 2023, she competed for Spain as a substitute at the United Cup, and was victorious on her debut over Olivia Gadecki. She made her major debut at the Wimbledon Championships by qualifying for the main draw.

2024: WTA 125 title and 1000 debut, top 10 win, two major third rounds

In March, she won her maiden WTA 125 title at the Antalya Challenger. The following month, she reached the final of the Zaragoza Open, but lost to Moyuka Uchijima. She subsequently made her WTA top 100 debut on 15 April 2024, reaching a new career-high ranking of world No. 90. She made her WTA 1000 main-draw debut, after qualifying for the Madrid Open where she defeated compatriot Paula Badosa in the first round for her first win at this level.

At Wimbledon, Bouzas Maneiro reached the third round of a major for the first time in her career, after upsetting defending champion Markéta Vondroušová in straight sets, her first top 10 win, and defeating compatriot Cristina Bucșa. Her victory over Vondroušová marked the first time since 1994 that the defending women's Wimbledon champion was eliminated in the first round. She exited the tournament after retiring due to a back injury while trailing in her round three match against eventual champion Barbora Krejčíková.

Bouzas Maneiro reached another major third round at the US Open with wins over Petra Martić and 31st seed Katie Boulter. Her run was ended by sixth seed Jessica Pegula.
