05.06.2014 10:38:11 | The same players are going to show up at the central court of the AGROFERT Arena third day in a row: Radek Stepanek, Lukas Rosol, Jiri Vesely. Adam Pavlasek, the greatest surprise of the tournament, will join them today. He beat Brazilian Souza on Wednesday. After losing the first set, the nineteen year old member of TK AGROFERT picked up his game and pursued another great result.
“I’m very happy, of course. I’ve been very relaxed during the tournament and I’m confident of reaching the quarterfinals,“ said Pavlasek knowing that Lukas Rosol was to be his next opponent. “I played him at Prosperita Open last year. I broke his serve in the third set and had a great chance. I’ll made every effort to win this time.“ Pavlasek will show up at the central court first. It is already clear thanks to his results at UniCredit Czech Open he will progress to the top 300 in ATP ranking. His best position has been the 319th place so far.
In the following match, the sixth-seeded Jiri Vesely (81st in ATP ranking) is clashing the fourth-seeded Kazakh Michail Kukushkin (54th in ATP). It is going to be their very first match. Radek Stepanek (43rd in ATP) should have the easiest way to the semis. He is a great favourite in the match with French Axel Michon (206th in ATP) who is by twelve years younger than him.
Adam Pavlasek will play Lukas Rosol twice today. He and Jiri Vesely beat the couple of Zelenay, Kowalczyk yesterday and will clash the second-seeded couple of Rosol, Begemann (Germany) for a spot in the finals today.
