Andrea Strnadová

Andrea Strnadová was a Czech tennis player who played professionally from 1988 to 1995. Strnadová achieved a career-best singles ranking of #33 in the world in September 1991, and a doubles ranking of #14 in the world in April 1993. She played on the Czech Republic’s Fed Cup team in 1991 and 1992.

Strnadová had a promising start to her career as a junior player, winning the girls’ singles title at Wimbledon in 1989 and 1990, the girls’ doubles title at the 1989 Australian Open (with Eva Švíglerová), and the girls’ doubles title at Wimbledon in 1990 (with Karina Habšudová). From September 1988 to August 1990 Strnadová won four ITF singles titles and two ITF doubles titles, and was named the WTA’s Newcomer of the Year in 1991. On the WTA Tour she reached five singles finals but finished as the runner-up each time. Strnadová had better success in the doubles, winning three titles between October 1991 and February 1993, partnering Jana Novotná twice and Patty Fendick once.

In the early 1990s Strnadová reached the third round at all four Grand Slams but never progressed any further. She and Jana Novotná competed in the doubles at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics where the duo reached the quarter-finals.
