05.06.2009 17:09:03 | Very convincing and solid performance helped the Belgian Darcis to defeat the seed no. 2 Tomáš Berdych 7:6, 7:6 and procure a position in the final of UniCredit Czech Open. The match lasted almost two hours and was very attractive for the audience. What decided about the result?
“We both had very good first serve today, we were winning games one by one until tie-breaks, where it was individual balls that decided. I also think I managed to keep calmer.”
How do you feel defeating the world’s no. 20?
“Of course, it is pleasant, but I know that Tomas is a grass specialist so it can hardly be considered as a breakthrough n my career.”
The final will be very difficult, Hajek is in a good shape, plays home and he is very motivated to win.
“I know his style and I also watched him here in Prostejov. We played a match four weeks ago in Ostrava in which he beat me in three sets. Tomorrow is a good time for revenge.”
