On the ITF Junior Circuit, Šramková achieved her highest ranking of 200 on 14 July 2014. She did not win any titles in singles, but won one title in doubles.[5]

2012-2013: Professional debut[edit]

Her debut in the main competitions of the ITF Circuit was in May 2012, when she advanced from qualifying at the $10k tournament in Velenje, Slovenia. In the second round, she lost to Slovenian Anja Prislanová. She won the premier single in this level of tennis in Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia. At the $10k event which took place in September 2013, she defeated Dunja Stamenković from Serbia in the final. She took the premiere trophy from the 2016 Open de Biarritz tournament with a maximum subsidy of $100,000. In the final, she defeated Martina Trevisan in three sets. This was her fifth title on the ITF Circuit.

2015: WTA Tour debut[edit]

She made her WTA Tour singles debut at the 2015 Nottingham Open. At the beginning of the grass-court qualifying competition, she was eliminated by the second seeded Zhu Lin.

2017-2022: Grand Slam debut[edit]

She made her Grand Slam main-draw singles debut at the 2017 Australian Open by mastering the three-round qualifying rounds, where she dealt with Virginie Razzano in the decisive match. However, in the opening round of the singles tournament, she lost to Chinese player Duan Yingying.

At the 2022 French Open, on her debut at this major, she entered the main draw as a lucky loser after the withdrawal of Rebecca Peterson.

2023-2024: First WTA 125 final, WTA 1000 debut & first win[edit]

In 2023, Šramková reached the final of the WTA 125 tournament in Bari where she lost to Tamara Zidanšek, despite having four match points in the second set.[6]

She made her WTA 1000 debut in Indian Wells, after qualifying for the main draw, and won her first match at this level over Wang Yafan.

National representation[edit]

Šramková made her debut on the Slovak Fed Cup team in 2017, in Forlì, Italy, in a match of the World Group II against Italy, in which she won both singles against Sara Errani and Francesca Schiavone as a player outside the top 100. With the decision set, they were dying alongside Anna Karolína Schmiedlová during the opening set of doubles. The Slovak team won 3–2. By April 2020, she competed in five interstate matches with a record of 2–4 in singles and 1–2 in doubles (in total 3–6).[7]
