She captured her biggest title on the hard courts of the Abu Dhabi Open back in February. Although the young Czech has struggled with persistent injuries, she’s coming off a quarterfinal run in Athens this past week. Bejlek has won three of her past five matches.

Anna Blinkova returns to Prague for the first time since her debut appearance in 2022. She lost in the first round to Barbora Krejcikova back then. Blinkova is ranked outside the Top 100 ahead of her second visit.

Blinkova has compiled 16 wins and 22 losses at all levels this season. She has enjoyed her best results at the 125K-level tournaments, reaching the semifinals in Saint-Malo and the quarterfinals in Contrexeville. Last week, she lost in the first round of the Athens Open to Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
