Andrea Sestini Hlavá?ková (née Hlavá?ková; Czech pronunciation: ['andr?a s?s'c '?lava:t?kova:]; born 10 August 1986) is a former professional tennis player from the Czech Republic. She reached WTA singles ranking No. 58, in September 2012. Her career-high doubles ranking is world No. 3, achieved on 22 October 2012.

She was also part of the victorious Czech team in 2014 Fed Cup[4] and won the mixed-doubles title at the 2013 US Open paired with Max Mirnyi. Her elder sister is retired professional tennis player Jana Hlavá?ková.
Hlavá?ková married former Italian tennis player and WTA employee, Fabrizio Sestini, in July 2017.[5] She is now competing under her new name "Andrea Sestini Hlavá?ková" following the end of the 2017 season.[2][3]
Hlavá?ková started playing tennis at the age of three.[6]
Hlavá?ková was the top-ranked girls doubles player at the end of 2003. This was the last year in which there were separate junior singles and doubles rankings.[7] Her highest girls singles ranking was No. 5, on 5 January 2004.[6] In her U18-junior career she won three singles titles: a Grade 2 at Hostivar (September 2002), a Grade 1 at Frankfurt (June 2003), and a Grade 3 at Plzen (July 2004), and 15 doubles titles.[6]
Hlavá?ková won her first International Tennis Federation (ITF) doubles title in 2003, on 19 October, with compatriot Tereza Szafnerová. The team defeated Lucie Kriegsmannová and Pavlína ?litrová in the final.
In May 2006, Hlavá?ková won her first ITF singles title at a 25k in Tenerife, Spain, when she beat Monique Adamczak in the final.[8] She won her first ITF doubles title of 2006 in Jersey, Channel Islands with Matea Mezak. Hlavá?ková and Renata Vorá?ová won a title in Fontanafredda, Italy over Daniela and Sandra Klemenschits. In late 2006, she won three straight doubles events that she entered. All of them came with compatriot Nikola Franková in November and December.
In 2007, Hlavá?ková won her first WTA doubles title, partnered with compatriot Petra Cetkovská. Hlavá?ková and Sandra Klösel of Germany entered the 2007 Wimbledon women's doubles competition main draw as lucky losers. The team defeated Klaudia Jans and Alicja Rosolska in the first round, but fell to Michaëlla Krajicek and Agnieszka Radwa?ska in the second. The Czech team won the title in their home country, at the Prague Open. They defeated Ji Chunmei and Sun Shengnan. On the ITF Women's Circuit, Hlavá?ková won four doubles titles. Her first of the year came in March in Tenerife, Spain, along with Margit Rüütel. Her next two titles came in La Palma, Spain and Calvià, Spain, both with Cetkovská. Hlavá?ková won her fourth title with Lucie Hradecká in Jersey, Great Britain to retain her crown.
She made a successful WTA partnership with Lucie Hradecká, and teamed with her to win the 2008 ECM Prague Open in their home country of the Czech Republic. To win, the pair defeated Jill Craybas and Michaëlla Krajicek in the final. Their second title of the year then came at the 2008 Gastein Ladies, where they beat Sesil Karatantcheva and Nata?a Zori? in the final.
In August 2009, Hlavá?ková won her second ITF singles title at a 25k in Bad Saulgau, Germany.[8]
She won three 25k singles titles in 2010: in Sutton, England in February, in Les Contamines-Montjoie, France in July and in Vigo, Spain in August.[8]
Hlavá?ková won her first Grand Slam title in doubles with Hradecká at the 2011 French Open, beating Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina in the final. She won also two ITF singles titles in 2011: a 50k in the Bronx in August, and a 25k in Clermont-Ferrand in October.[8]
On 5 August 2012, she won the silver medal at the London Olympics along with her women's doubles partner Hradecká.[9] At the US Open, she reached the fourth round. She upset Maria Kirilenko in the third round, but was defeated by fourth seed and eventual champion Serena Williams in the round of 16, 6-0, 6-0.[10]
At the 2013 US Open, Hlavá?ková won both the mixed-doubles title paired with Max Mirnyi and the women's doubles title with Lucie Hradecká.[11]
Hlavá?ková won her eighth ITF singles title at a 25k in Plzen, Czech Republic in August 2015.[8]
