Fręch started 2018 season in Auckland where she lost in qualifying (in the first round) to Sachia Vickery, in straight sets. She then took part at the first Grand Slam qualifying in her career - at the Australian Open. She beat Miyu Kato, Sofya Zhuk and Kayla Day, and became one of the 12 qualifiers, making her main-draw debut at the Grand Slam championship. In the first round, she lost to eventual quarterfinalist Carla Suárez Navarro, in straight sets. At the end of January, Fręch played at the $60k Andrézieux-Bouthéon event where she defeated Conny Perrin in three sets, Chloé Paquet in two and Vitalia Diatchenko (6–3, 2–2 ret.). In the semifinals, she lost to eventual champion Georgina García Pérez, in three sets. In February, she started at the Hungarian Open where she came through the qualifying competition by defeating Çağla Büyükakçay in three, and Anna Blinkova in straight sets.

2021–23: WTA 1000 & top 100 debuts, major & WTA 1000 third rounds

She made her top 100 debut at No. 99 on 18 October 2021 following her qualification at the Indian Wells Open and first round win over Zheng Saisai. She lost to top seed Karolina Pliskova.

In 2022, she qualified again for the Indian Wells Open into the main draw entering as a lucky loser and won against Mayar Sherif before losing to 30th seed Marketa Vondrousova. She reached the third of a Major for the first time in her career at Wimbledon.

In 2023, she again entered the Indian Wells Open as a lucky loser for a second consecutive year, and won her third match at this tournament defeating Maryna Zanevska before losing to fourth seed Ons Jabeur. At the Miami Open, she entered directly into the second round of the main draw, again as a lucky loser, after the late withdrawal of 26th seed Zhang Shuai[4] and won her match defeating wildcard Erika Andreeva to reach the third round at a WTA 1000 level for the first time in her career.

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Qatar for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Qatar was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  2. The $10,000 tournaments were reclassified as $15,000 in 2017. However, there were some $15,000 even before 2017.
  3. Tournament was moved from Canberra to Bendigo due to the smoke affecting Canberra from the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season.
