Ukraine's Daria Snigur is enjo



ying a breakthrough week at the Livesport Prague Open 2026, reaching the first WTA singles final of her professional career after an impressive run through the tournament.

The 24-year-old produced another determined performance in the semifinals, defeating Czech rising star Tereza Valentova in front of a passionate home crowd on Centre Court. Despite the challenging atmosphere and intense support for her opponent, Snigur stayed composed and secured one of the biggest victories of her career.

Her remarkable run has already guaranteed a significant rise in the WTA rankings. Snigur is set to break into the Top 50 for the first time, and a victory in the championship match would move her into the Top 40, marking a major milestone in her career.

Speaking after the semifinal, Snigur admitted she never imagined making it this far.

Honestly, I didn't expect this. I'm surprised myself at how things are going. When I saw the draw, I knew it would be really tough because the Czech players are incredibly strong. Right now, I'm very happy, but also very tired.

The semifinal was a physically demanding contest, with both players showing signs of fatigue after a long week in Prague. Instead of their usual aggressive shot-making, the match featured extended rallies and intense baseline exchanges as both competitors fought for every point.

Snigur praised Valentova's fighting spirit and explained how patience became the key to victory.

Tereza is a huge fighter. It was difficult to finish points with winners, so I focused on playing point by point. The most important thing was that I never lost belief.

With confidence growing and history already made, Snigur now stands just one win away from capturing her maiden WTA title. Regardless of the final result, her outstanding performance in Prague represents the biggest achievement of her career and signals that she could become a regular presence among the WTA Tour's top players in the months ahead.

All eyes will now be on the championship match as the Ukrainian looks to complete a dream week with her first-ever WTA trophy.
