Career

2021: Progress in doubles; first WTA title, top 100 debut

Mihalíková made a progress in her doubles career after making some good results during the season of 2021. In early season, she get to the title at the $25K Hamburg tournament, partnering with Anna Bondár. Two months later, they advanced to the another final but this time finished as a runner-up at the $25K Manacor. In June, her progress continued with her first WTA Challenger final at the Bol Open. Together with Ekaterine Gorgodze, she lost to the pair of Aliona Bolsova and Katarzyna Kawa.[2] The following month, she reached another Challenger final, at the Båstad Open alongside Kamilla Rakhimova. Just like the previous final, she lost in three sets.[3]

Things got even better in September, when she reached her first WTA tournament doubles final. Partnered with Anna Kalinskaya, she defeated Aleksandra Krunić/Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove in three sets.[4] In October, she won two $60k tournaments; the first one at the Henderson Open in Las Vegas, followed up with the title at the Rancho Santa Fe Open. In the first half of December, she was successful in her third attempt at Challenger finals. She won the title at the Open Angers Arena Loire alongside Greet Minnen, after beating former Grand Slam doubles champion Vera Zvonareva and former Grand Slam doubles finalist Monica Niculescu.[5] These results pushed her in December into the top 100 for the first time.
