A very good and decisive start from Czeck Republic that seems to be on his way to the final.
Berdych had a predictable win against world no. 93 Leonardo Mayer while world no.61 Radek Stepanek beat in straight sets Pico Monaco (ranked no.30).
Now Czeck Republic is 2-0 and they are the favourite to win all the other matches from the doubles to the other two singles, so it’s almost game over.
Berdych
Tomas wasn’t 100% happy about his performance to comment “I was kind of fighting with myself with the rhythm of a bit faster court from the beginning in those first two sets,
“Then I just got the rhythm back and started to serve on the standard that I’m used to and getting some easy points, and that was actually the key to the game…
“We have a 2-0 lead after Friday and that is what we wanted or maybe better. The most important thing is now to get ready for tomorrow,” said the Czeck no.1.
Stepanek
Radek was a very happy guy after the match to comment “The longer I was on the court, the better my play got,”
