Davis Cup: Czech Republic wins a decisive point vs.Serbia

And that was it! Czech Republic is inches away from defending their title.

Czech Republic wins another a very important point at doubles to be the absolute favourite to grab the Davis Cup title.

As forecasted the Czech team decided to make Berdych and Stepanek to play the doubles instead of Hajek and Rosol and that paid off. The Czech won in straight sets (6-2, 6-4, 7-6) against Zimonjic and Bozoljac without many problems.

Berdych: We’re in the best possible position

An absolutely elated Berdych commented “We’ve put all the pressure on them. We’re in the best possible position. I have nothing to lose; I’m feeling good on court. It’s a huge challenge to play Novak in front of his home crowd, in the form he’s playing in. I’ll do my best and you never know, the match could be long. Or there could be another chance for Radek.

“For the important points we always combined. It’s not about one guy, we took our chances and that’s what we needed. Winning in straight sets was very helpful.”

Stepanek: We controlled the match from first to last point

The “worm” commented: “I knew I had a great performance yesterday and took positives from the match. I was ready today. I felt good on court with Tomas by my side. It’s a pleasure to play with him. We controlled the match from first to last point.

“I got used to the conditions on Friday, and today we won which was the most important thing. I want to keep doing what I’m doing.

Next Matches

Djokovic will play Berdych and he is the clear favourite to win. But the most important match is the last one as Stepanek will take on world no. 117 Dusan Lajovic.
