Taking place between 20-26 July, the Prague Open is a key tournament on the hard courts ahead of the US swing which begins the weeks after in Washington.
The Prague Open is the start towards the US Open with Canada, Cincinnati following DC and it sees Marie Bouzkova as defending champion. Linda Noskova lost in the final last year albeit she won't actually be in Prague, at least playing.
She plans to attend the tournament and receive a warm reception as Wimbledon champion. But being a WTA 250, it is not mandatory. Albeit Mertens, Krejcikova, Sakkari and Bejlek among others are involved.

Predictions Prague Open 2026
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Marie Bouzkova winning the title.
Bouzkova faces a tough opener in Jessica Bouzas Maneiro but showed pedigree on home soil this time last year. Maria Sakkari and Barbora Krejcikova are meant to play in this so I'd put them up there but after a gruelling week in Athens less likely.
Eva Lys to flourish?
Sara Bejlek will also be up there and also Eva Lys I pick who hasn't played much this year due to injury so will be good to see her return
*** Marie Bouzkova
** Maria Sakkari, Barbora Krejcikova
* Sara Bejlek, Eva Lys
