Career

Silva debuted in the ITF Women's Circuit in Vila do Conde with a first-round loss. Her first high-level match came in 2002 at the Estoril Open, followed soon by her first presence in the Fed Cup. Both matches resulted in defeat.

Her greatest moment came at home at the 2004 Estoril Open when she defeated Julia Schruff, the previous year finalist, 3–6, 7–6, 7–6, to become the first Portuguese female player to win a singles match at the tournament. She then lost to fourth seed Denisa Chládková, in straight sets.

The year 2009 proved to be a breakthrough year for Silva. In February, she entered her first tour event outside of Portugal in Pattaya and reached the second round, defeating Jessica Moore 6–2, 6–1 before losing in two sets to home player and sixth seed, Tamarine Tanasugarn.

In May, at Estoril, she played first seed Iveta Benešová in the first round, losing in three sets. In doubles, with Alexandra Dulgheru, she reached the quarterfinals.

On 18 June 2009, Silva qualified for her first Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon, where she lost to second seed Serena Williams, 1–6, 5–7 in the first round.

Her next WTA Tour event was the Tashkent Open in September, where she lost in the first round to eighth seed Galina Voskoboeva.

2010 was an injured filled year for Silva, who missed most of the season. Her last match came in June during the Wimbledon Championships qualifying tournament where she lost in the first round to Michaëlla Krajicek, in straight sets.

Citing constant pain in both of her knees, Silva retired on 12 September 2010.
