The 2022 Ostrava Open (also known as the AGEL Open for sponsorship purposes) was a WTA tournament organised for female professional tennis players on indoor hard courts. The event took place at the Ostrava Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic, from 3 through 9 October 2022.
The event was held on a third consecutive year in the alternative sporting calendar due to the cancellation of tournaments in China during the 2022 season because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the suspension of tournaments in China following former WTA player Peng Shuai's allegation of sexual assault against a Chinese government official, and the tournaments in Russia due to the ongoing war with Ukraine.[1][2]
