Hradecká has won 11 ITF singles titles, but no WTA singles titles. She has won 2 WTA and 17 ITF doubles titles.

She won her first doubles title on the WTA Tour in 2006 at Portoroz with partner Renata Voráčová, as the fourth-seeded team. In the final, the Czech team defeated Eva Birnerová and Émilie Loit, the second seeds, by walkover. They also had a victory over the top seeds Maria Elena Camerin and Emmanuelle Gagliardi in the semifinal.

She reached the third round of doubles competition with Hana Šromová as qualifiers at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships before going down to fifth seeds Meghann Shaughnessy and Anna-Lena Grönefeld. En route they defeated twelfth seeds Svetlana Kuznetsova and Amélie Mauresmo, both Grand Slam singles champions at the time and the previous year's Wimbledon doubles runner-ups by walkover.

In 2007, she made the doubles semifinals of the 2007 Indian Wells Masters tournament with Voráčová. En route, the team defeated Janette Husárová and Meghann Shaughnessy, the seventh seeds, in the first round, and legendary team and third-seeded Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suárez in three sets in the quarterfinals, before losing to top seeds Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur.

Later that year, Hradecká and Voráčová won Bad Gastein over Ágnes Szávay and Vladimíra Uhlířová. She again won the 2007 Portoroz title with Voráčová over Elena Likhovtseva and Andreja Klepač in the final.
