She began playing tennis at the age of six,[1] and, at the age of 13, she moved to Zagreb for better training opportunities.[3] After her junior career, she was extended offers to play tennis at Harvard University and Princeton University, but chose to pursue professional tennis instead.[1]

Ćirić Bagarić made her debut for Croatia in the Billie Jean King Cup in April 2023 playing doubles in the Europe/Africa Zone.[4] In September 2023, she made her WTA 125 debut at the Zavarovalnica Sava Ljubljana,[5] where she reached the quarterfinals.[6]

She was named ITF World Tennis Tour Player of the Month in February 2024.[7]

Ranked No. 185, she qualified for her first Grand Slam at the 2024 French Open after defeating Arina Rodionova, Rebecca Marino, and Sara Saito in the qualifying competition without dropping a set.[8][9] She lost to Peyton Stearns in the first round in three sets.[10][11]
