The Ostrava Open (known as the J&T Banka Ostrava Open for sponsorship reasons) is a tennis tournament organised for female professional tennis players, and part of the WTA tour. It is a Premier-level tournament held in October 2020, played on indoor hard courts, and organised to make up for the many tournaments cancelled during the 2020 season, due to 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.

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.
