Career

In January 2021, Burillo Escorihuela won the inaugural Georgia's Rome Tennis Open, a $60k event, by defeating Grace Min in the final in her fifth three-setter of the week to win her first title since 2017 – and her first above $15k level.

She made her WTA Tour debut at the 2022 Morocco Open where she lost to Ajla Tomljanović in the first round. The following month, she entered the Open Internacional de Valencia as a wildcard, but lost to fourth seed Arantxa Rus in the first round.

In 2023, she qualified for her first WTA 1000 tournament, the Madrid Open, having been given a wildcard for the qualifying draw. She won her first match at the WTA Tour-level against Kaia Kanepi in the first round.

Ranked No. 280, she qualified for her first major at the 2024 French Open by defeating Carole Monnet, Veronika Erjavec, and Jil Teichmann in qualifying without dropping a set. However, she lost in the first round of the main draw to fellow qualifier Moyuka Uchijima.
