Hlaváčková Au Tournoi de Qalification de l’s Open 2014.

The , Hlaváčková surprises by announcing publicly [ 3 ] That she changes Double Partner for 2014, while her association with Hradecká is one of the most efficient there is. This decision stems from her desire to progress in simple: henceforth, she will have the same coach as Lucie Šafářová and, suddenly, will play in double with the latter.

This new collaboration begins in an unconvincing way since, during the first tournament of the season, in Auckland, they are eliminated in the first round in simple and only spend a double round despite their status as a series of the table.

At the Australian Open, Hlaváčková does not get out of the qualifications in simple and is eliminated in the round of 16 both in double (with Šafářová) and in double mixed (with Max Mirnyi).

A clear improvement occurs during the Pattaya tournament where she reaches the double semi-finals with the Spanish Medina Garrigues but also and above all in simple, which allows the Czech to win a good fifteen places in the WTA and get closer to the top 100.

The rest of the season is difficult with simple eliminations in the first round of qualifying in Miami, Indian Wells, and Dubai, in the first round in Monterrey and Katowice, then in the first round of qualifying in Roland-Garros.

During this Grand Chelem tournament, Andrea is also eliminated in the first round in double and double mixed. Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Šafářová then decided to put an end to their collaboration. Andrea will now play double with the Chinese Zheng Jie and also announces changes in his coaching [ 4 ] .

The grass season begins with a new elimination in the first round, during the first ITF tournament in Nottingham (Aegon Trophy) in early June. But, the following week, Andrea reached the semi-finals of the second ITF tournament in Nottingham (Aegon Challenge).

Back on clay at Bad Gastein in early July, Andrea was again served by the draw, falling from the start on the rising star of Italian tennis, Camila Giorgi (defeat 6-2, 6-3). Losing the points of her last year final, Andrea then falls beyond the 180 It is global place.

In July, Andrea participated with little success in two ITF tournaments, being eliminated in the second round in Olomouc (Czech Republic) and in the first round in Sobota (Poland).

In August, the American tour was not more favorable in simple since it was eliminated in the first qualifying round in Montreal and then in Cincinnati, then in the second round of the US Open qualifications. In double, with the Japanese Kimiko Date-Krumm as a punctual partner, she reaches the sixteenth finals in Montreal and especially the semi-finals in Cincinnati, before finding Zheng Jie at the US Open where they reach the quarter-finals.

In September, Andrea finally achieved good performances in single during the Quebec tournament, of which she reached the quarter -finals, narrowly eliminated in three fierce sets by Julia Görges, with which she reached the final of the double tournament.

During the Asian tour, Andrea pays for her fall in the individual classification by not being able to even access the qualifying tables.

It is hardly better during the first Grand Chelem of the year in Australia: Andrea spends a single qualifying round, reached only the eighth in doubles with Lucie Hradecká and the mixed quarters with the Austrian Alexander Peya .

A single semi-final in the Burnie ITF tournament (Australia) notes a slight better for Andrea but her elimination in qualifying from the Pattaya tournament means the loss of the points of the semi-final reached in 2014.

Unfortunately, fate designates him as an opponent n O 1 world Serena Williams which won 6-2, 6-3. The good sensations also return in double since Andrea and Lucie Hradecká go to the semi-finals.

Barely the semi-final of the double of Roland-Garros finished, Andrea rushes in the Netherlands for the qualifications of the WTA tournament of Bois-le-Duc, played on grass, and where her first match was shifted for the next day while waiting Her arrival.
