02.06.2011 11:31:47 | UniCredit Czech Open has the following battles on the schedule today: Youzhny – Schukin, Stepanek-Seppi, Estrella-Munoz De La Nava, Korolev-Cipolla. The matches start at 1.00 pm. The only representative of the Czech tennis is Radek Stepanek who in the second round defeated another Czech player, talented Lukas Rosol. Stepanek is going to clash with Italian Andreas Seppi ATP no. 51. All matches promise high quality tennis today!
Stepanek is thus the last hope of the Czech tennis at UniCredit Czech Open. “This tournament is very special for me. I have experienced a lot of wonderful moments here in Prostejov. Last year the organizers gave me a chance to return to the tour after a break and I am very grateful for this. I want to reward them for this chance so I am firmly determined to get as far as I can, hopefully to the final although I know it will be difficult. Generally I enjoy playing here very much, this place is exceptional – perfect background for players with very good conditions. Every year there are a lot of top players invited which is not usual for this type of event. The players stay in the hotel right next to the centre court which is very comfortable. The people are keen and provide perfect service, in my opinion UniCredit Czech Open is one of the best events of its kind, if the best one at all.”
