Sara Bejlek aims to capitalize on her strong recent form as she faces Maria Timofeeva in the second round in Prague. Bejlek, coming off a quarterfinal appearance in Athens and a gritty first-round win, looks poised for another deep run. Timofeeva, meanwhile, earned her Prague spot after a hard-fought win but has yet to find consistent success on the main tour this year. With Bejlek’s confidence surging, she is favored to clinch a quarterfinal berth, provided she maintains her current level.

  • Timofeeva has not registered multiple tour-level wins at the same event since 2024. 
  • She holds a 1–6 career record against Top 50 players. 
  • Bejlek is looking to register back-to-back wins for only the third time in 2026. 
  • She owns an 11–4 record against players outside the Top 60 this season.

This will be their first meeting.

Timofeeva Eyes a Better Run

Maria Timofeeva moved into the second round after defeating Aliaksandra Sasnovich in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, in the opening round in Prague. She trailed 1-4 in the second set before fighting back to seal the victory in straight sets. 

This is only the second time she has cleared the opening-round hurdle at tour level this season. Her previous first-round win came at Wimbledon a few weeks ago, where she lost to Elise Mertens in the second round. She will now look for a better result this week. 

The 22-year-old has won three lower-level titles this season, including the WTA 125 events in Istanbul and Makarska. Apart from those title runs, she has not recorded multiple wins at any other tournament this year.

Bejlek Looks to Extend Winning Form

Sara Bejlek defeated Anna Blinkova in three sets, 7-6, 3-6, 6-1, to move into the second round in Prague. She dropped her serve seven times but broke her opponent on eight occasions during the match. 

After struggling for consistency and confidence, the Czech returned to form by reaching the quarterfinals in Athens last week, her best result since February. She will look to carry that momentum into Prague. 

Bejlek has registered multiple main-draw wins at only two tournaments this season, winning her maiden WTA Tour title in Abu Dhabi and reaching the quarterfinals in Athens. She is now one win away from reaching back-to-back quarterfinals for the first time this year.
