Bio She is a Brazilian professional tennis player. She won an olympic bronze medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, playing alongside Luisa Stefani.

Pigossi has won seven singles and 41 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On May 23, 2022, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 122, following her first WTA Tour final in the 2022 Copa Colsanitas. On February 3, 2020, she peaked at No. 125 in the WTA doubles rankings.

Playing for the Brazil Fed Cup team since 2013, Pigossi has a win/loss record of 6–5.

Pigossi is an Olympic bronze medallist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the doubles event. She partnered Luisa Stefani to defeat Veronika Kudermetova and defending gold medallist Elena Vesnina to win the bronze medal. Pigossi and Stefani became the first Brazilians to obtain an Olympic medal in tennis in history, surpassing Fernando Meligeni's campaign that took 4th place in 1996. The medal was one of the most unexpected: the Brazilians got an Olympic spot at the last minute, confirmed one week before the Games opened, with Stefani ranked No. 23 in the doubles ranking and Pigossi only at No. 190. Although the Brazilian pair had lost in the only game they played together before, during the campaign they managed to save eight match-points. In addition to the four in the bronze medal match, they saved another four in the match against Czech duo Karolína Plíšková and Markéta Vondroušová in the round of 16.

In 2022, she played her first qualifying at a Grand Slam in the Australian Open. After some decent campaigns at the ITF tour, Pigossi had her first WTA-level wins at Copa Colsanitas in Bogotá, Colombia, coming from the qualifyings and reaching the finals. The campaign in Bogotá included wins against Dayana Yastremska in the quarterfinals and No. 1 seed Camila Osorio Serrano in the semis before losing to Tatjana Maria in the finals. As a consequence, Pigossi reached a career-high World No. 126 in the singles WTA rankings on April 11, 2022. In May, she reached two second-rounds at WTA 125 level in Saint-Malo and Karlsruhe. At the 2022 French Open, Pigossi made the qualifying draw as the 16th seed. She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.
