In February, Gadecki won her first WTA Tour singles main-draw match at the Phillip Island Trophy. She followed this up with her first top-10 win, defeating the top seed, former Australian Open champion and world No. 4, Sofia Kenin. With Gadecki's career-high ranking being No. 988 in the world, this was Kenin's worst defeat by ranking on the WTA Tour. Gadecki lost in the third round. The following week, she re-entered the WTA rankings at No. 642. In May 2021, Gadecki won her first professional singles title in Turkey.

In August 2021, she won the singles and doubles titles at Vigo, Spain. It was her second singles title and fifth doubles title.

On 20 September 2021, Gadecki debuted in the Australian top 10 in singles and doubles rankings. She ended the year with a singles ranking of No. 238.

2024: Olympics in singles & doubles, maiden WTA Tour final, top 100, Australian No. 1

She reached a career-high ranking at world No. 120 on 15 January 2024, prior to the 2024 Australian Open where she received a wildcard for the main draw, losing to Sloane Stephens.

Ranked No. 177, she qualified for the Wimbledon Championships making her debut at this major but suffering a straight sets loss to Robin Montgomery.

Ranked No. 152, she qualified for the WTA 500 Guadalajara Open and defeated Sloane Stephens in the first round.
