The 2020 J&T Banka Ostrava Open is a WTA tournament organised for female professional tennis players, held in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in mid-October 2020 on indoor hard courts. It was primarily organised due to the cancellation of many tournaments during the 2020 season, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2] The tournament attracted four top-20 players, including two-time grand slam champion and former world no. 1 Victoria Azarenka.
