Short Preview
As the WTA tour rolls into Prague on July 19, 2026, all eyes will be on the matchup between home player Sofia Costoulas and Ayla Aksu. Both athletes are looking to capitalize on their recent performances, with Costoulas securing victories in 2 out of her last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Aksu has shown improved form, winning 3 of her last 5 contests, indicating a potentially more stable and confident play.

These attributes may allow her to exploit any lapses in Costoulas’ game.
