In July 2015 she won her second WTA title at the Brasil Tennis Cup in Florianópolis. With the result, Pereira entered the top 50 for the first time. She was just the second Brazilian in the Open Era to win a WTA title in Brazil – Niege Dias achieved the feat once, doing it over in Guarujá in 1987.

In February 2014, Pereira reached the semifinals of Rio Open.

Playing for Brazil at the Fed Cup, she has a win–loss record of 26–10.
