No. 1 seed Linda Noskova and No. 5 Marie Bouzkova will meet in Saturday’s all-Czech final at the Livesport Prague Open.

Noskova rolled over No. 4 Xinyu Wang of China 6-4, 6-1 in 70 minutes and Bouzkova ousted countrywoman Tereza Valentova 6-4, 7-5 in one hour and 54 minutes in Friday’s semifinals.

Bouzkova, 27, won her only title in Prague in 2022. Noskova, 20, picked up her maiden WTA Tour title at the 2024 Monterrey Open. Bouzkova has won two of their three previous matches, although Noskova took the most recent meeting at the 2024 Australian Open.
