The Ostrava Open is a tennis tournament organised for female professional tennis players. It was most recently a WTA 500-level tournament held in October, played on indoor hard courts, and first organized in 2020 after a 20 year absence to make up for the many tournaments cancelled during the 2020 season, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] The tournament was held until 2022, with the WTA announcing in June 2023 that the event would not return.[3]
In 2026, the tournament returned to the WTA calendar, staging a WTA 250-level in February. It takes place in the Ostravar Aréna and the Ridera Tennis Club in Ostrava on indoor hard courts.
From 1994 to 1998, the Czech Indoor was a men's tennis tournament that was part of the World Series of the ATP Tour. It was held at the ČEZ Aréna on indoor carpet courts.
In 1999, the Nokia Cup was a WTA Tour tournament. It was held in Prostějov in the Czech Republic and played on indoor carpet courts.
