06.06.2012 13:44:46 | Florian Mayer of Germany, the third-seeded player at UniCredit Czech Open, comfortably defeated Wayn Odesnik (USA) 6:4, 6:2 and qualified among the best eight players. What did he say after the match? “Odesnik was pretty solid, hitting hard from forehand, a little too defensive in the first set but then he improved his service and his overall play improved by great deal.“
Verdasco is out and it rendered the upper part of the draw much easier… “The next opponent will be very tough for me. Montanes is an excellent player.“ And what about Stepanek? “That’s still too far ahead. I could possibly meet him in the finals but it’s still a long way to go. I think it would be a very interesting match for everybody. Dumping of Verdasco doesn’t make the tournament easier. He who wants to win the tournament must win five matches. It will be very tough, considering the competition in Prostejov.“
