Prague: Karolina Muchova and Jil Teichmann advanced to their first WTA final at the Prague Open on Friday.
Muchova, a wild card entry at the clay-court tournament, made her first WTA semi-final victorious after defeating unseeded Bernarda Pera of the United States 6-2, 7-5.
Before this week, the Czech had reached a quarter-final on tour only once, in February.
