Ostrava Open

The Ostrava Open (known as the AGEL Open for sponsorship reasons) was 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 from 2020-2022, with the WTA announcing in June 2023 that the event would not return.[3]
