08.06.2012 16:13:14 | Jan Hajek comfortably defeated Radek Stepanek in the semifinals of UniCredit Czech Open. “Jan proved that he traditionally plays in a great shape here in Prostejov. I tried to play aggressive tennis from the very beginning but it didn’t work out given the local conditions, the balls weren’t fast enough. However, I have to say one more time that Jan definitely deserved to win today. What decided were my unforced errors, my service didn’t work, I couldn’t rely on it,” said Stepanek.
“Jan had terrific defense, it was his game today.“ The Czech number two is to play a grass-court tournament in Halle now. “The tournament in Prostejov helped me to get into shape again and resume the playing regime. I wish I will take advantage of it in the future tournaments,” said Stepanek.
