The Czech Republic has 2-0 lead over Belgium in Davis Cup following Tomas Berdych’s 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win over Olivier Rochus and Radek Stepanek’s 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3) victory over Xavier Malisse in Bree.
It’s not yet known whether Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil will ask Berdych and Stepanek to play Saturday’s doubles, but that two-man duo was the pair that led the Czechs all the way to the final last year.
“They went to the final last year playing like that, so we are expecting them to keep it the same tomorrow,” Rochus said.
