–

Three of the four top seeds made it to the final four in Ostrava, with No. 3 Belinda Bencic the only absentee.

Bencic was beaten by Anett Kontaveit in the quarters on Friday. And Kontaveit backed that up with a straight-sets win over Petra Kvitova Saturday.

No. 1 Iga Swiatek vs No. 4 Maria Sakkari was a rematch of their Roland Garros quarterfinal clash. With the same results.
