Nikola Bartůňková (born 25 February 2006) is a Czech tennis player.[1] Bartůňková has a career-high singles ranking by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) of 226, achieved on 8 April 2024, and a career-high WTA doubles ranking of 320, achieved on 14 August 2023.

Professional career

In April 2021, at the 2021 İstanbul Cup, Bartůňková attempted her WTA Tour debut. She defeated world No. 152, Leonie Küng,[2] in the first round of qualifying, before losing to Anastasia Gasanova.^[citation needed] She made her WTA Tour debut at the same tournament one year later, after having been handed a wildcard for the main draw, losing to Anastasia Potapova.[3] On 16 October 2023, Bartůňková won her first tour-level match when she defeated Dayana Yastremska in the first round of the 2023 Transylvania Open,[4][5] before losing in three hours to Ana Bogdan in the second round.[6][7]

In November 2024, Bartůňková was issued with a six month competition ban backdated to April 2024 for an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for unintentional use of trimetazidine (TMZ) at two events in early 2024.[8] She had been provisionally suspended from May 2024 until the conclusion of the investigation.[9][10] The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted that the source of the TMZ was a contaminated supplement for which she bore "no significant fault or negligence" for having ingested.[11]
