# Ukrainian tennis players in Prague: Podrez in qualifying, Snygir in the main draw of WTA 250

The prestigious WTA 250 tennis tournament is set to begin in the Czech capital, Prague. Two representatives of Ukraine will participate in the competition: Veronika Podrez and Daria Snygir. However, their paths to the title will start from different positions.

### Veronika Podrez: fighting for a spot in the main draw

19-year-old Veronika Podrez will begin her journey at the tournament with the qualifying stage. To make it into the main draw, she must overcome two rounds. In the first qualifying match, the Ukrainian will face the local Czech tennis player Tereza Krejčová.

The winner of this pairing will compete in the qualifying final against the winner of the match between Czech player Viktoriya Bejlek and Japanese player Rina Saigo.

This will be the second time this season that Podrez has competed in WTA tournament qualifiers. Earlier, in April, she participated in the competition in Rouen, France, where she reached the final but lost to her compatriot Marta Kostyuk with a score of 3:6, 4:6. As of today, Veronika holds the 136th position in the WTA world rankings.

### Daria Snygir: straight into the main draw

24-year-old Daria Snygir has the advantage of direct entry into the main draw of the tournament. In Prague, she will battle against top-tier opponents, including such well-known tennis players as Marie Bouzková, Barbora Krejčíková, Maria Sakkari, and Antonia Ružić.

The season has been productive for the Ukrainian. At Wimbledon, she sensationally knocked out Jelena Ostapenko in the first round, then defeated Leonie Ungur, before losing to Ashlyn Krueger in the third round.

A highlight in Snygir's calendar was the WTA 125 tournament in Oeiras, Portugal, which she won by defeating Swiss player Viktorija Golubic in the final. She also has a victory to her credit at the ITF 75 tournament in Muránska, Slovakia. Thanks to these successes, Daria holds a solid 56th place in the world rankings.
