Early life

Career

2013: Grand Slam and top 100 debuts

Schmiedlová qualified for her first Grand Slam tournament at the French Open. After Wimbledon, she reached the final of the $100k Open de Biarritz,[6] and lost to Stephanie Vogt in three sets.[7]

She reached the top 100 for the first time with a ranking of world No. 97.[8]

2014: French Open third round

In May, Schmiedlová won the Empire Slovak Open in Trnava when she defeated defending champion Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová in the final. The following week, she reached the final of the Prague Open, losing to Heather Watson in straight sets.[9]

At the French Open, Schmiedlová defeated Zheng Jie in the first round[10] and surprised former world No. 1, Venus Williams, with a victory in three sets in round two.[10][11] In the third round, she lost in straight sets to Garbiñe Muguruza.[12]

2015: Breakthrough and first WTA Tour title

In February, she reached her first WTA Tour final at the Rio Open, losing to Sara Errani in straight sets. In April, she won her first WTA career title at the Katowice Open, where she defeated Camila Giorgi in the final. She won her second career title at the Bucharest Open, where she this time defeated Errani in the final.

At the Wuhan Open, Schmiedlová scored her first top-10 victory, and hence the biggest win of her career, by upsetting former world No. 1, Caroline Wozniacki, in three sets in the second round.[13]

2016: Loss of form, out of top 100

Schmiedlová commenced season at the Brisbane International and lost in the first round to Varvara Lepchenko.[14] Schmiedlová won her first match of the season at the Sydney International beating sixth seed Timea Bacsinszky in the first round.[15] She was heavily defeated in the second round by qualifier Monica Puig.[16] Seeded 27th at the Australian Open, Schmiedlová lost in round one to Daria Kasatkina.[17]

2018: Third career title

Ranked No. 132 in the world, Schmiedlová won her third career title at the Copa Colsanitas in Bogotá, Colombia, where she beat Lara Arruabarrena in the final. It was her first title since 2015 and resulted in her return to the top 100.[18][19]

2020: First third-round appearance at the French Open in six years

Schmiedlová at the 2020 Australian Open

Schmiedlová kicked off her season at the Brisbane International where she lost to Marta Kostyuk in the second round of qualifying. At Hobart, she was defeated in the first round of qualifying by Nina Stojanović. At the Australian Open, she lost her first-round match to sixth seed Belinda Bencic.[20]

Playing in the Fed Cup tie versus Great Britain, Schmiedlová helped Slovakia win 3–1 by beating Heather Watson and Harriet Dart.[21] Playing at the Mexican Open, Schmiedlová was defeated in the first round by Anastasia Potapova.[22] Coming through qualifying at the Monterrey Open, Schmiedlová beat Venus Williams in the first round.[23] She then lost in the second round to ninth seed and eventual finalist, Marie Bouzková.[24] A week later, competing at a $25k tournament in Irapuato, Mexico she was defeated in the first round by eighth seed Renata Zarazúa.

Schmiedlová at the 2020 Australian Open

In August, Schmiedlová played at the Sparta Prague Open. Seeded 24th, she reached the quarterfinals where she lost to second seed and eventual finalist, Elisabetta Cocciaretto.[25] In the leadup to the French Open, Schmiedlová played the İstanbul Cup and made it to the second round before she was defeated by Aliaksandra Sasnovich.[26]

At the French Open, Schmiedlová beat 2002 finalist and former world No. 1, Venus Williams, in straight sets in the first round.[27] She then upset tenth seed and former world No. 1, Victoria Azarenka, to reach the third round for the first time since 2014.[28] But her run ended there with a straight-sets loss to qualifier and eventual semifinalist, Nadia Podoroska.[29]

2023: French Open fourth round

Schmiedlová at the 2023 US Open

Ranked No. 100, she reached the fourth round of the French Open for the first time at a major event in her career, defeating 11th seed Veronika Kudermetova, lucky loser Aliona Bolsova, and qualifier Kayla Day. Schmiedlová was the first Slovak to reach the second week at a major since Magdaléna Rybáriková at the 2018 Australian Open, and the first to do so at Roland Garros since Dominika Cibulková's 2012 quarterfinal run.[30][31] In the fourth round, however, she lost to Coco Gauff.[32]

In September, Schmiedlová reached the final of the WTA 125 tournament in Parma in which she lost to Ana Bogdan. [33]

2024: Historic Olympics semifinalist, first top 5 win, BJK Cup finalist

At the Australian Open, Schmiedlová lost to Coco Gauff in the first round.[34] In Austin, she was beaten in her semifinal match by the eventual winner, Yuan Yue.[35]

In May, Schmiedlová won the WTA Challenger tournament in Parma, defeating Mayar Sherif in the final.[36] At Roland Garros, she was unable to defend her fourth round points from previous year, losing in the first round to qualifier Sara Errani. Because of that result, her ranking dropped from No. 53 to No. 80 on 10 June 2024.

At the Budapest Grand Prix in July, Schmiedlová made the semifinals with successive deciding set wins over Kamilla Rakhimova,[37] fourth seed Sara Sorribes Tormo,[38] and Elina Avanesyan,[39] before losing to Aliaksandra Sasnovich with the match again going to three sets.[40]

On her second appearance at the Summer Olympics, she reached the semifinals in Paris defeating Katie Boulter,[41] and upsetting three seeds, 14th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, and then fourth seed and world No. 5, Jasmine Paolini[42] and world No. 10 and reigning Wimbledon champion, Barbora Krejčíková, her second and third top 10 wins in her career.[43] At No. 67, she became the lowest ranked semifinalist since tennis returned to the Olympics in 1988 (Li Na who was ranked No. 42 was the previous lowest in Beijing 2008). She was also the first Slovakian woman to reach the medal stage at the Games.[44][45][46] However, she lost the bronze medal match to Iga Świątek in straight sets, despite breaking her serve at the start.

As the top seed at the 2024 Guadalajara 125 Open, Schmiedlová beat wildcard Julia García Ruiz, qualifier Kimberly Birrell, and sixth seed Emina Bektas, before losing to 4th seed Tatjana Maria.
