The Banka Ostrava Open has come to an end with only one match remaining and it's the final between Azarenka and Sabalenka.
The final of the Ostrava Open will take place today at 14:30 as Victoria Azarenka takes on Aryna Sabalenka. It's a fascinating matchup between two great tennis players from the same country. Victoria Azarenka has been playing excellent tennis al week long and one might say she was the best player so far in Ostrava. She lost only one set en route to the final and it was in the first round. She served well but what proved key in many matches was, that she was far superior in rallies. Her opponent Sabalenka has had anything but an easy road to the final as she only won the semifinal match in straight sets. She was close to losing twice at this tournament but somehow came back miraculously both times. She will need some of that luck today as well.
They played each other twice in their career and both times it was on the hard courts of New York. Their first match in '19 was one by Sabalenka while their most recent one which happened almost two months ago at the US Open was won by Azarenka. Tomorrow Vika will be favoured as well because her journey to the final has been based on her own great play. For Sabalenka that is not the case as she was twice outplayed for the majority of the match. If she plays the way she did against Brady in the semifinal she will have a chance but even then it will be a small one. Match start at 14:30 and a report of the final will be ready after the match.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
