Her jouney then continued in August 2022 at the $60K Prague. There she lost in the first round of both singles and doubles event, making here her doubles debut. Her potentional was recognized given that she received wildcard for her first WTA 500 tournament at the Ostrava Open. However, she lost in the qualifying.

In May 2023, on her first year-tournament, she recorded her first ITF main-draw win at the $60K Prague tournament. A month later, she made big progress, where, as a wildcard player, she reached her first semi-finals at the $60K Říčany, where she lost to Elvina Kalieva.[2] On her way to the semi-finals, she did not drop a set.[3] Her next step was the $60K Olomouc tournament, where she went even further. In singles, she reached new quarterfinal[4] but in doubles, alongside her compatriot Magdaléna Smékalová, she won her first ITF and doubles title.[5] Two weeks later, at the 2023 Prague Open, she received wilcard for singles qualifications but lost in the first round to Dayana Yastremska.[6] With another wildcard, she made her Tour level debut in doubles alongside Nikola Bartůňková.
