Pilsen beer, Prague, and an infinite number of great women tennis players are the trademarks of the Czech republic. The last-mentioned trademark is the most important for us. As the restrictions are eased in many European countries, world-class tennis will be back in Prague on May 26.
Czech Tennis Association is organizing the tournament at the end of May for its players. The tournament should be played in Prague, on hard surface courts without fans, but matches should be televised over the internet.
Eight ladies and eight men will be playing the classic bracket tournament. The quarterfinals should be played on May 26. Semifinals and Finals will be played the next day on May 27 and May 28.

Location: Prague, Czech Republic, Sparta Prague Tennis Club
