Professional career

2020-21: WTA Tour and top 300 debut

Fruhvirtová made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2020 Prague Open, receiving wildcards into the singles and doubles draws.[7][8]

She also received a wildcard from the 2021 Miami Open for the qualifying where she was defeated in the first round by Nina Stojanović. In April, she received a wildcard for the main draw at the WTA 250 MUSC Health Women's Open where she won her first WTA singles match when Alize Cornet retired in the third set.[4][9] She progressed through the quarterfinals by defeating Emma Navarro in straight sets in the next round, before losing to eventual champion Astra Sharma. Linda, at only 15, was the youngest player at that time in the top 400 WTA rankings.

She played another WTA 250 main draw in Cleveland as lucky loser. She defeated Tara Moore before losing to Magda Linette in two tight sets. She ended season with quarterfinal showing at the WTA 125 Korea Open, losing in three sets to Ekaterina Kazionova.

Notes

  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
