She born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Tennis Hall of Famer May Sutton Bundy and U.S. doubles champion Tom Bundy (1912–1914).

Dodo made a habit of winning big tennis matches, and it has lasted for a lifetime. The daughter of former Wimbledon and U.S. Champion May Sutton Bundy, Dodo became the first American woman to capture the Australian Championships in 1938.

She was included in the year-end top ten rankings issued by the United States Lawn Tennis Association from 1936 through 1941, 1943 through 1946, and in 1955. She was the third-ranked U.S. player in 1937, 1938 and 1941.
