2021: First ITF Circuit title & top 500
In July, she won her first and up to date biggest title at the $60k ITS Cup in Olomouc, Czech Republic, by double bagelling Paula Ormaechea in the final.[3] As a result, after making her WTA rankings debut, she improved her rank by 557 positions to No. 447 in just one month.[6] [7]
2022: Major & top 200 debuts
In June, at the Česká Lípa, she won the $60k Macha Lake Open, defeating fellow Czech Jesika Malečková in the final.[8] The following week, Bejlek made her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon Championships in qualifying, but she was beaten in the first round by Emina Bektas.[9] A month later, she defended her title at the ITS Cup, this time defeating Lina Gjorcheska in the final.[10] She continued with making progress at the US Open with her major main-draw debut after three wins in the qualifying.[11] She was the youngest player in the 2022 US Open main draw, having been the youngest direct entrant to qualifying.[3][12][13]
2023: Australian Open and French Open debuts
At 16, as the second-youngest player in the top 200, she made her debut at the Australian Open.[14] She lost to her compatriot Barbora Krejčíková in the first round.[15] In early April, she reached her first final of the year, the $60k Split tournament, but lost to Tara Würth.[16]
A month later, she made her qualifying debut at the WTA 1000 tournament at the Italian Open. In the first round of qualifying, she triumphed with losing only three games.[17] Still, she failed to qualify after losing in the following round of qualifying.[18] Next destination was the French Open where she passed qualifying without losing a set, to reach the main draw at Roland Garros for the first time.[19] Like the previous two Grand Slam tournament main-draw appearances, she lost in the first round, this time to Kamilla Rakhimova.[20]
After failing in Wimbledon in qualifying,[21] she reached another $60k final in the Hague but lost it to Arantxa Rus.[22] Two weeks later, she finally won her first title of the year, at the $25k tournament in Pärnu, Estonia.[23] In early September, she reached her third $60k final of the year in the Czech Republic, at the Prague Open, but again finished runner-up.[24]
Bejlek won her first WTA 125 title at the Copa Colina in Chile on 19 November 2023 defeating Diane Parry in the final.[25]
2024: WTA 1000 debut
At the Australian Open, Bejlek qualified into the main draw for the second consecutive year but lost in the first round to 32nd seed Leylah Fernandez.[26]
She also qualified for the Madrid Open, making her WTA 1000 debut and recording wins over Anna Blinkova,[27][28] 24th seed Anna Kalinskaya[29] and Ashlyn Krueger to reach the fourth round[30] where she lost to Elena Rybakina in straight sets.[31] As a result, she reached a new career-high ranking of 114, on 6 May.[citation needed]

- The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 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.
