She wins her first professional tournament in Orlando, FL in 1974, before turning 18 years old. In the same season, she wins Mixed Doubles at Roland Garros alongside colombian Iván Molina, in her first Grand Slam title.
In Colombia, there are two moments of glory in the history of world tennis. One, in 1974, during the Grand Prix era, when Iván Molina crowned champion of the Mixed Doubles tournament in Roland Garros. His partner was someone who, at that time, threatened with being one of the tennis legends of all-time: Martina Navratilova. They defeated Rosie Reyes Darmon and Marcelo Lara in the final, the score 6–3, 6–3.
