In May 1977 she reached the final of the Italian Open in which she was defeated in straight sets by Janet Newberry.[6] In 1978, Tomanová teamed with Betsy Nagelsen to win the women's doubles title at the Australian Open, defeating Naoko Sato and Pam Whytcross in the final 7–5, 6–2.[7] With compatriot Pavel Složil she won the mixed doubles title at the 1978 French Open when their opponents retired after the first set.
At the Wimbledon Championships she reached the third round in the singles event on five occasions as well as once in the doubles. In 1979 she reached the quarterfinal of the mixed doubles event with John Marks.[8]
