Before turning professional, Huber competed with success on the junior circuit. In 1982 she partnered with Judith Polz to make the girls' doubles semi-finals at the Australian Open and quarter-finals at the French Open. She was a semi-finalist in the girls' singles event at the 1983 French Open.[1]
Huber made her first WTA Tour final at the 1984 Miami Classic, which she lost to Laura Arraya. She reached the round of 16 at the 1984 US Open to obtain her highest career ranking of 37 in the world.[2]
In 1986 she won the Spanish Open as an unseeded player. She had a semi-final win over a young Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, who was appearing in her first WTA main draw, then beat Italian Laura Garrone in the final. In doubles she was a finalist at three WTA events in 1986, for one win, partnering Petra Keppeler in Bregenz.[3]
At the 1984 Summer Olympics, Huber was Austria's representative in the women's singles demonstration event.[4]
