Prague Open: Where to watch, Live Stream Details, TV Schedule and more
The Prague Open suffered a setback even before it began as the top seed and World No. 5 Karolina Pliskova, a former champion at this tournament, had to withdraw due to viral illness. Pliskova, who lost a tight Round of 16 clash to Victoria Azarenka at Stuttgart last week, has not been able to train fully due to it and that prompted her decision to pull out.
In the revised draw, another Czech veteran, Barbora Strycova, placed at 39th in the world rankings, has taken Pliskova's place. An all-Czech quarter-final with sixth seed Katerina Siniakova is on the horizon and will have the full backing of the crowd, should it happen.
World No. 13 Anastasija Sevastova, who made it to the quarters in Stuttgart, will be looking to continue that form as this WTA International tournament's second seed. World No. 16 Qiang Wang is enjoying one of the best phases of her career, which was evident from her quarter-final finish at Miami and pre-quarters in Indian Wells.
The Chinese has been given the third seeding and begins her challenge against Margarita Gasparyan.
As the fourth seed and last year's runner-up, World No. 29 Mihaela Buzarnescu has a tough first round face-off against former French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.
