In 2023, Frech had a solid year with back-to-back quarterfinal appearances on grass, exiting both Nottingham (to Burrage) and Birmingham (to Ostapenko, the eventual champion). She reached the third round at the Miami Open (losing to Gracheva) and had second-round finishes at several events, including Indian Wells, Madrid, Rome, Guadalajara, and Hong Kong. During the Grand Slam circuit, her best results were second-round exits at both Roland Garros (losing to Rakhimova) and the US Open (losing to Muchova). She concluded the season ranked No. 63 after winning a 100k ITF event in Spain, defeating Sara Errani in the final.

Frech broke into the WTA Top 100 on October 18, 2021, after advancing through qualifying to reach the second round at Indian Wells. She garnered further success by winning at the WTA 125K Series event in Concord and an ITF Circuit event in Prague, both in the following season.
In 2020, Frech's campaign was marked by her first WTA quarterfinal appearance at Prague, while competing as a lucky loser; however, she lost to the eventual champion, Simona Halep.
