03.06.2014 10:51:40 | Three opening matches at the Central Court of the AGROFERT Arena will offer the first revelation about the further development of the 21st edition of the UniCredit Czech Open. First, the third-seeded Lukas Rosol will meet the qualifier Julien Obrym at 11.00 a.m., then Jiri Vesely will play another French Tristan Lamasine. After them, the first-seeded Radek Stepanek will meet Facundo Arguello of Argentina. The triple winner of the Czech Open is going to clash an opponent whom he defeated at Roland Garros in five sets after losing the first two sets in the first round. Stepanek claimed that the next match against the excellent clay player from Argentina will sure be different. Radek has already identified the strong points of Facundo Arguello and it should be a different match...
“Tuesday’s programme really involves great stars of the Czech tennis. I believe that Radek, Lukas, and Jiri will play their best and advance to the next round. Radek Stepanek will sure have the hardest time. His first-round match with the Argentine Arguello was one of the longest ones at Roland Garros and Radek really had to play with great effort to turn the match in his favour at 0:2,“ said the tournament director Petra Cernoskova. “I want to believe that Adam Pavlasek will also succeed. He got a wild card but it will be really hard for him. The American Klahn takes the 71st position in ATP ranking. They always say that the quarterfinals matches are most attractive. However, this year, it is already Tuesday which offers a great programme at the UniCredit Czech Open,“ said Petra Cernoskova.
Twelve singles matches will be played at the UniCredit Czech Open on Tuesday. Radek Stepanek should show up at the Central Court at about 2 p.m. Doubles matches are, of course, also on the agenda.
