Unseeded Natalya Medvedeva of Ukraine defeated Germany's Meike Babel, 6-3, 6-2, to win the Prague Open. Babel, seeded eighth, took a 2-0 lead but committed too many unforced errors from the baseline and lost the first set in 41 minutes. Medvedeva, using her booming serve and gentle drop shots, broke Babel in the first game of the second set and was in control the rest of the way.
