03.06.2010 17:02:09 | Although Fin Jarkko Nieminen had been delivering good performance in Prostejov, in the quarterfinal of UniCredit Czech Open he lost to the seed no. 1, Radek Shtepanek, 5:7, 4:6.
Fin Nieminen answered our question about what he considers to be the decisive factors of his defeat: "Contrary to Radek I wasn’t able to use my chances today; I had three setpoints and didn’t use any of them. In addition, I didn’t have a very god entrance into the match. I expected to get further here in Prostejov but I must admit that Radek was better in the key moments today."
