After five triumphs on the lower ITF tour, he celebrates his first challenger title. Although Kopřiva has already appeared in a semifinal and twice in the third round on the ATP tour, he did not manage to win a Challenger title until now. He has already appeared in the semi-finals four times, in quarter-finals many times, but he has only made it to the final for the first time this week in Prostějov.

Dalibor Svrčina made the tournament director's wish come true and advanced to the final after beating Lukáš Klein of Slovakia in a great match. He won the first set thanks to a masterful finish and then dominated the court. He will appear in a challenger final for the second time this season.
