05.06.2014 17:39:55 | The sixth-seeded Jiri Vesely ousted the fourth-seeded Kazakh Michail Kukushkin in two completely different sets. “I’m really relieved after the match against Kukushkin. If you win the first set 6:0, it is always a strange feeling and it’s clear the second set will be completely different. Kukushkin went for it. I lost my serve, made a few mistakes, and really had a hard time playing at 1:4. However, I managed to narrow the gap to 2:4, which got me going."
I knew Kukushkin was not a clay player and I had a little advantage. I was rather lucky to have turned the second set in my favour and finally won it,“ Vesely said after the match. And who would Vesely prefer to meet in the semis? “I’d rather play Radek than Michon whom I do not know very much. It would be great to beat Radek. But it’ll be very hard. He’s a great and experienced player.“
