Sixth seed Alize Cornet and the qualifier Tamara Korpatsch will on Friday square off in the Prague Open quarterfinals. The winner of this match will play fourth-seed Linda Noskova or unseeded Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the semifinals. Cornet defeated Kaia Kanepi in three sets to book this match with Korpatsch. This allowed her to move up to 59th in the live ranking. The Frenchwoman has struggled for form this season and has so far compiled a 16-18 win-loss record. Before arriving in Prague, she had won only one match on hard court all season. Her record on the surface now reads 3-5 and she will hope to achieve a winning record by prolonging her stay here. Cornet has the head-to-head advantage in this fixture having won the only other encounter with Korpatsch back in 2019. Advancing to this round has already seen her set a personal record in what is her second appearance here.

Tamara Korpatsch is on her debut in Prague and what a tournament she is having. The German began her campaign in the qualifying rounds and has won all four matches she has played without dropping a set. She was on the court a matter of minutes before Yanina Wickmayer retired from their second-round tie. Korpatsch was ahead 4-0 in the opening set. She will be fresher than Cornet for this match as the Frenchwoman played for more than three hours in the last round. Korpatsch, who is now up to 86th in the live ranking, has also struggled this year. She has lost more matches, 20, than the 16 she has won. On hard court, she has her record split in the middle after eight matches on the surface.
