An under-18s national champion, Laval competed in the women's singles main draw of every French Open from 1987 to 1991.[1] In the first two years she also played in the juniors and was a girls' doubles finalist at the 1988 French Open, partnering Julie Halard.
Laval, who also featured twice at the Australian Open, represented the France Federation Cup team in 1988, for a World Group tie against West Germany. She made her only appearance in the doubles rubber, with Catherine Suire, which they lost in three sets to Isabel Cueto and Eva Pfaff.[2]
During her time on the professional tour she reached a best singles ranking on tour of 139 in the world. She was a quarter-finalist at Bayonne in 1990 and twice reached the quarter-finals at Palermo, in 1990 and 1991. These runs included two wins over players ranked in the world's top-50, Rachel McQuillan in Bayonne and Raffaella Reggi at the 1991 Palermo Open.
