Havlickova Looks to Break New Ground

Lucie Havlickova moved into the second round after defeating Alycia Parks in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. She saved all six break points she faced and converted all three break-point opportunities she created during the match. 

This is only the third WTA Tour main-draw win of her career. Her previous two victories also came in Prague, where she reached the second round in both 2022 and 2025 before failing to progress further. 

Havlickova arrived this week after failing to win back-to-back matches in 11 of her last 12 tournaments. She is now looking to reach her maiden WTA Tour quarterfinal.

Krejcikova Continues Home Campaign

Barbora Krejcikova continued her strong recent form by defeating Linda Fruhvirtova in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, to reach the second round in Prague. She dropped her serve three times in the second set but still closed out the match comfortably. 

This is her fifth second-round appearance in Prague, but she has progressed beyond this stage only once in her previous four appearances, when she went on to win the title in 2021. 

The Czech struggled with fitness issues during the early part of the season but has turned things around over the past couple of months, winning the title in Athens, finishing runner-up in Bad Homburg and the WTA 125 event in Parma, and reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon. 

Before her run in Bad Homburg, Krejcikova had been on a five-match losing streak in tour-level quarterfinals.
