Professional career

2021: ATP and Top 200 debut, first top-10 win

He won his maiden Challenger doubles title at the 2021 Aspria Tennis Cup in Milan with Jiří Lehečka.

On his ATP debut, ranked at a then career-high of World No. 249 in singles, at the 2021 Swiss Open Gstaad, Kopřiva defeated Denis Shapovalov for his career-best and first top-10 win. He was the lowest-ranked player to beat a Top 10 opponent since then World No. 698 Thanasi Kokkinakis defeated then World No. 6 Milos Raonic at The Queen's Club in 2017. Kopřiva advanced to the semifinals after beating Mikael Ymer in straight sets. He was the second player to reach the semifinals on his ATP Tour debut since May 2012, joining 2021 Córdoba champion, Juan Manuel Cerundolo. His run would come to an end in the semifinals against Casper Ruud.

2022-2023: First Challenger singles title, Top 115 debut

He won his maiden Challenger at the 2022 UniCredit Czech Open in Prostějov defeating his 19-year-old compatriot Dalibor Svrčina 6–2, 6–2. As a result, he reached the top 150 at World No. 146 on 6 June 2022 and a month later the top 125 on 18 July 2022.

He fell in the first round of qualifying at the US Open. Despite this result, he reached a career-high ranking of No. 111 on 18 September 2023 following two Challenger titles during the season, in July and August.

2024: Grand Slam and Masters debuts

He qualified for the 2024 Australian Open making his Grand Slam debut.
