She won her second title at the Bucharest Open, when she defeated Errani in the final.

At the Wuhan Open, Schmiedlová scored her first top-10 victory, and hence the biggest win of her career, by upsetting former world No. 1, Caroline Wozniacki, in three sets in the second round.[13]

2016: Loss of form, out of the top 100

Schmiedlová kicked off her season at the Brisbane International where she lost to Marta Kostyuk in the second round of qualifying. At Hobart, she was defeated in the first round of qualifying by Nina Stojanović. At the Australian Open, she lost her first-round match to sixth seed Belinda Bencic.[18]

In May, Schmiedlová won the WTA 125 tournament in Parma, defeating Mayar Sherif in the final.[34] At Roland Garros, she was unable to defend her fourth round points from last year, losing in the first round to qualifier Sara Errani. Because of that result, her ranking dropped from no. 53 to no. 80 on 10 June 2024.

At the 2024 Hungarian Open in Budapest in July, Schmiedlová made the semifinals with successive deciding set wins over Kamilla Rakhimova,[35] fourth seed Sara Sorribes Tormo[36] and Elina Avanesyan[37] before losing to Aliaksandra Sasnovich with the match again going to three sets.[38]
