Elina Svitolina’s triumphant clay season ended with a devastating loss. Following a quarterfinal in Rome and title in Strasbourg, the world no. 5 reached her seventh Grand Slam quarterfinal in Paris but could not clear 131st-ranked qualifier Nadia Podoroska, a player who had never defeated a top 50 player before that fortnight. Svitolina, the winner of two International tournaments this season (also Monterrey), will be competing in her tenth tournament of the year with a 6-3 record in opening rounds. This is the first time the former WTA Finals champion plays a tour-level event in Czech Republic, with her past outings coming at ITF levels in 2011 and 2013.

Maria Sakkari got off the mark in Ostrava with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Kristyna Pliskova. She gave the home favorite little headroom during the 79-minute contest, firing 28 winners and 16 unforced errors to her opponent’s eight and 28, respectively. It is payback for her defeat at Palermo, Italy at the start of the tour resumption. Sakkari is hoping for her third quarterfinal of the season after the Premier events of St. Petersburg and Cincinnati. In order for that, she will have to overcome her 2-7 career record against top 5 players in completed matches, with those rare wins coming against Ka. Pliskova at 2018 Rome and Bencic at 2020 St. Petersburg.
