The semi-final match of Prague Open 2023 between Linda Noskova and Tamara Korpatsch will take place on August 6.
Linda Noskova has matched her previous year’s Prague semifinal achievement with a remarkable performance over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, clinching a swift 6-0, 6-2 win in just 53 minutes. This follows her close escape against the 196th-ranked player the day before. After a strong start to the season, making the Adelaide final and Lyon quarterfinals, the 18-year-old faced a tour dry spell, only breaking it with a quarterfinal in Warsaw where she fell to Iga Swiatek, the world No. 1. Prague was where she reached her first WTA quarterfinal and semifinal a year back, and this week marks her third career semifinal appearance, now at 1-1.
Tamara Korpatsch continues her breakthrough on hard courts, defeating sixth seed Alize Cornet 7-6, 6-1 despite an early setback. Previously 0-8 on this surface in 2023, she’s now won all five Prague matches without dropping a set. With a 2-11 hard court record, she conquered Viktoriya Tomova 6-2, 6-4, and advanced due to Yanina Wickmayer’s retirement. Despite having never won a non-clay pro title, the German qualifier reaches her third career semifinal. Earlier losses include a 2019 Lausanne defeat to Cornet (6-3, 6-4) and a 2021 Gdynia loss to Kristina Kucova (6-0, 6-3).
