Of course, I am happy to have overcome my problems and focus on my tennis only again.”
Did he check the draw? “Maybe it sounds like a phrase but I always look only one match ahead. Now I should play with the winner of the match Rosol- Jebavy.” One could notice how Stepanek enjoyed the game. “For me it is very pleasant to play in front of the home audience, I spent a few tennis years here, I have a very close relationship to the town of Prostejov and I would like to stay in the game at least until Saturday. I was a champion twice here but last time my health told me to stop so I am very motivated to stay till the end, get to the finals and win my third championship.”
