In July 2013, she won her first WTA Tour doubles title in Bad Gastein with Sandra Klemenschits.[6]

In 2015, Klepač reached quarterfinals at the Australian Open with Klaudia Jans-Ignacik and US Open[7][8] with Lara Arruabarrena.[9]

In 2017, together with María José Martínez Sánchez, she reached her third consecutive quarterfinal at the US Open. In 2018, they also reached three finals, defeating en route top pairs Latisha Chan/Andrea Sestini Hlaváčková (Brisbane) and Tímea Babos/Kristina Mladenovic (Doha). They lost two tie-breakers in the semifinal of the Madrid Open against Ekaterina Makarova/Elena Vesnina.

Klepač also appeared in the quarterfinals of the 2018 French Open, and the 2019 Australian Open, partnering with Martínez Sánchez, and of the 2021 French Open, alongside Croatian Darija Jurak.

Klepač has played four seasons with World TeamTennis starting in 2016 when she debuted in the league with the Washington Kastles.
