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]

From 1994 to 1998, the Czech Indoor was a men's tennis tournament that was part of the World Series of the ATP Tour. It was held at the ČEZ Aréna in Ostrava in the Czech Republic and was played on indoor carpet courts.

In 1999, the Nokia Cup was a WTA Tour tournament. It was held in Prostějov in the Czech Republic and played on indoor carpet courts.
