What a nice week for the Czech tennis.
Back home in Prague Berdych and Stepanek reach another historical Davis Cup final. In Canada, Tomas Berdych’s former girlfriend, Lucie Safarova wins her first title in 5 years!
Lucie didn’t have a great 2013 to fall from been ranked no.17 in January to a current 48 rank(See progression.), but this title will definitely help her to regain some ground.
In Quebec City Lucie had an excellent run to lose only 1 set against home favourite Genie Bouchard and to concede only 7 games in the final against Marina Erakovic from New Zealand. Match Stats.
From Safarova
“It was just about a few points today, but I was more consistent with my game and more aggressive, and I think that’s why I won.” She commented.
