Professional career

2004: Turned Pro, Junior success

Buzărnescu played her first professional match in 2004. She then won the junior doubles title at the 2006 US Open with Raluca Olaru. Seeded No. 2, they defeated the top-seeded pair of Sharon Fichman and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the final.

2016: Injuries and hiatus

Shoulder and knee injuries (the latter prompting two surgeries) forced her off the pro tour for years, long enough that she went back to school, graduating with a doctorate at the National University of Physical Education and Sport in December 2016.

2017: Major and top 100 debuts

In 2017, she qualified to make her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2017 US Open (tennis). In October 2017, Buzărnescu got to the semifinals of the Linz Open. As a result, she reached the top 100 as world No. 89 on 16 October 2017.

2018: First Tour titles, top 20 in singles

She reached the finals of the Hobart International and the Prague Open. At the Internationaux de Strasbourg, she surrendered a lead in the singles semifinals against Dominika Cibulková, eventually losing the match in three sets. She showed more consistency in the doubles, winning the tournament and her first WTA title with compatriot Raluca Olaru in straight sets against Nadiia Kichenok and Anastasia Rodionova.

In May, Buzărnescu then played in her first French Open, which was also the first Grand Slam tournament, she was seeded. She defeated Vania King in the first round for her first major win. Afterwards, she also won versus Rebecca Peterson. Against No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina in the third round, Buzărnescu won the match in straight sets. This was her biggest career victory and one of the tournament's bigger upsets. She faced No. 13 seed Madison Keys in the fourth round, and lost in two sets.

In the grass-court season, Buzărnescu reached the quarterfinals of the Nature Valley Open in Nottingham, losing to Naomi Osaka. She also played in the doubles tournament with British partner Heather Watson, losing in the final. At the 2018 Birmingham Classic, she once again defeated second seed Svitolina, before losing to eventual champion Petra Kvitová in the semifinals. Buzărnescu then played for a third consecutive week in Eastbourne. She reached the last 16 before losing to Jeļena Ostapenko. However, she reached the doubles final with partner Irina-Camelia Begu.

In August, Buzărnescu captured her first WTA Tour singles title winning in San Jose with a straight-sets victory over Maria Sakkari in the final. Later in August, she played Elina Svitolina once more in the second round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal but suffered a serious ankle injury and was forced to retire. This injury kept her out of the game for two months including the US Open but she did reach her best ever ranking of No. 20 in the world, on 6 August 2018. Buzārnescu ended the year ranked 24.

2019-2020

Buzărnescu began her 2019 season at the Brisbane International. She lost in the first round to eventual finalist Lesia Tsurenko. Seeded second and last year finalist at the Hobart International, she was defeated in the first round by Belinda Bencic. Seeded 25th at the Australian Open, she lost her first-round match to seven-time Grand Slam winner, two-time finalist, and former world No. 1, Venus Williams.

In February, Buzărnescu represented Romania in the Fed Cup tie against the Czech Republic. She lost both of her rubbers to Karolína Plíšková and Kateřina Siniaková. In the end, Romania still managed to win the tie over the Czech Republic 3–2. At the Qatar Ladies Open, she was defeated in the first round by 2016 finalist Jeļena Ostapenko. In Dubai, she lost in the first round to Sofia Kenin. Seeded fourth at the Abierto Mexicano in Acapulco, she won her first match of the season by beating Daria Gavrilova in the first round. She was defeated in the second round by Bianca Andreescu. Seeded 29th at the Indian Wells Open, she suffered a second-round loss at the hands of Daria Gavrilova. Seeded 30th in Miami, she lost in the second round to Alizé Cornet.

Buzărnescu started her clay-court season at the Charleston Open. Seeded 12th, she reached the third round where she lost to fifth seed, 2011 champion, and eventual finalist, Caroline Wozniacki.

2021-2022

Partnering Fanny Stollár, Buzărnescu won the doubles title at the 2021 Budapest Grand Prix, defeating Aliona Bolsova and Tamara Korpatsch in the final.

At the 2022 French Open, she entered the main draw as lucky loser but lost in the first round to Madison Brengle. Playing at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, she entered the main draw by replacing Leylah Fernandez, and defeated qualifier Nastasja Schunk, in the first round, before losing to 11th seed Coco Gauff.

Buzărnescu recorded wins over Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Yuan Yue to reach the quarterfinals at the 2022 Swedish Open where she lost to Viktoriya Tomova. At the 2022 Iași Open, she retired due to injury while leading by a set and a break against Cristina Dinu in the first round.{{cite web|url=https://www.prosport.ro/alte-sporturi/tenis/revenire-spectaculoasa-a-mihaelei-buzarnescu-a-dat-vestea-dupa-21-de-luni-de-chin-de-la-ultimul-meci-oficial-19893690|title=Revenire spectaculoasă a Mihaelei Buzărnescu.
