02.06.2009 18:25:03 | The tournament UniCredit Czech Open goes to the second round without four seeds. The 32-memebered list of participants of UniCredit Czech Open suffered serious losses.
The two of them were caused by misfortunate events – first, the Russian Andreyev did not receive visas in time, and second, Radek Stepanek scratched his first match due to ankle injury.
On the central court the Kazakhstanian Andrey Golubev (88 ATP) could not cope with the Spanish Martin (95 ATP), Frederico Gil from Portugal (67 ATP) lost to Gimeno-Traverem from Spain (83 ATP). Tomas Berdych (20 ATP) kicked out the Belgian Rochus in a three setter and it must be said that in the first two sets the match was not an easy sailing for him.
How about Czech players? Hajek is going to clash with Gimeno-Traver in the second round. “I played against him three years ago, I won then and I believe I will be able to deliver the same performance again,” said Hajek about his future opponent. Minar will fight against Martin Klizan from Slovakia, and Tomas Berdych is meeting on the court with Bellucci. It was him who put out Tomas Berdych last year on the clay in Prostejov in quarterfinals 6:4, 6:2. Will Tomas be able to return the defeat this year?
