Popadić is most noted for her performance at the 2004 Copa Colsanitas Seguros Bolivar, a WTA Tour tournament held in Bogota. Going into the event with a ranking of 235, Popadić won her way through qualifying, then had wins in two main draw matches, over world number 61 Arantxa Parra Santonja and Antonella Serra Zanetti of Italy. She was beaten in the quarter-finals by second seed María Sánchez Lorenzo in three sets.[1]

Most of her career was played on the ITF circuit and she won one title in 2001, the doubles of a $10,000 ITF tournament in Athens, where she was also runner-up in the singles that year.[2] She never made a grand slam main draw but participated in the qualifying draws for the Australian, French and US Opens. In 2005 she retired from professional tennis.
