09.06.2023 10:41:31 | Will we see the sixth Czech final or the third Czechoslovak final? For Jakub Dusílek, CEO of UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, which operates in both the Czech and Slovak Republics, either of these outcomes would be a pleasure. How will the tournament story unravel in the end? It will be decided by semi-final matches in which Svrčina and Macháč will attack the sixth Czech final. Dalibor Svrčina is playing Slovak Lukáš Klein of Slovakia, and Tomas Macháč is meeting Francisco Comesana of Argentina on the Centre Court today.
What do the stats reveal with regard to common finals? Last year’s Prostějov final featured Kopřiva and Svrčina, Bohdan Ulihrach and Jiří Novák met in 2001, Radek Štěpánek faced Michal Tabara in 2004, Jan Hájek played Radek Štěpánek in 2010, and Radek Štěpánek and Jiří Veselý clashed for the title in 2013. Czechoslovakian players appeared in the final of the tournament’s first edition: Slovak Karol Kučera beat Tomáš Zdražila in 1994, and Jiří Veselý defeated Norbert Gombos in 2014.
