She has won one doubles title on theWTA Tour, and one doubles title on theWTA Challenger Tour, along with 12 singles and 21 doubles titles on theITF Women's World Tennis Tour. On 5 November 2018, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 124. On 3 February 2020, she peaked at No. 71 in theWTA doubles rankings.
García Pérez hit thefastest women's serve on record at 220 km/h (136.7 mph) during the2018 Hungarian Ladies Open.
She has representedSpain inFed Cup since 2018, where she has a win–loss record of 4–1.
After three years without stepping on a tennis court for personal reasons, Georgina returns to the circuit.Only a few months after her re-debut, she achieved her first professional titles. During 2015, she achieved two ITF titles, in Monzón and in Portugal.
García added another three ITF titles, plus four more titles in the doubles circuit, which led her to debut in theWTA Tour at the2016 Copa Colsanitas, partneringLaura Pous Tió,[2] but they lost her first-round match againstNicole Melichar andRebecca Peterson.[2]
In 2017, she premiered on Grand Slam-level competing in qualifying draw at Wimbledon, falling in three sets to the AmericanSachia Vickery. A wrist injury prevented her from being active during the summer of 2017. At the end of the season, Georgina returned to the courts with the intention of adding the points needed to play the preview of the Australian Open and she was only one week away to be able to enter when winning the Pune tournament.
Georgina started the season in the $60k tournament of Andrézieux, France, where she won the most important title of her career so far, defeating in the final former top 100,Arantxa Rus, by a score of 6–2, 6–0. The week after that title, García was summoned by the new captain Anabel Medina for the first time in her career to play a tie in Fed Cup. It would be againstItaly on February 10 and 11, where she played the doubles match, winning against the Italian pair withMaría José Martínez Sánchez.
After overcoming the previous phase in the WTA Tour event in Budapest, going up two matches againstNaomi Broady and the vetaranissimo, ex-top 10Patty Schnyder, García played her first final table of a WTA-level tournament where she fell toAleksandra Krunić in two sets. In the second match of qualifying, Georgina produced a serve of 220 km/h, which is the fastest service in the history of women's tennis, however, has yet to be verified by the WTA. In the same tournament, in the modality of doubles, García managed to win her first WTA title with her partner, the local playerFanny Stollár. They won in a tough match, with a comeback included, in the super-tiebreak at number one of the draw, the pair formed byJohanna Larsson andKirsten Flipkens.In May, she returned to play another final with Fanny Stollár, falling in the final of the Rabat WTA tournament againstAnna Blinkova andRaluca Olaru.
After the good start of the season, Georgina received a wildcard to play for the first time in the main draw of the Madrid Open. She lost her first-round match toDonna Vekić, in two straight sets.
In June, she managed to overcome the previous phase ofFrench Open and achieved her first victory in a Grand Slam tournament by defeatingDalila Jakupović. This victory led her to contest the second round against the favorite No. 2 and winner this year of the Australian Open,Caroline Wozniacki.
In July, García could not play the singles preview at Wimbledon for very few, but she did it in the doubles along with her Hungarian partner Fanny Stollár. They achieved the first victory in a final table of a Grand Slam doubles competition, defeatingMandy Minella andAnastasija Sevastova. However, they would lose in the second round to the eventual finalists,Nicole Melichar andKvěta Peschke.
In August, she made her first appearance at the US Open, and reached the final qualifying round but could not overcomeMarie Bouzková.
