31.05.2016 21:10:58 | Four Czechs appeared in four matches on the AGROFERT Arena Centre Court on Tuesday. Three of them succeeded. It was only Zdeněk Kolář who succumbed to the top seeded Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania in the opening match. “I made too many unforced errors which you cannot afford against No. 50 in the world,“ said Kolář after the match. Jiří Veselý began his campaign to defend the title against the lucky loser Miki Jankovič of Serbia. However, his performance was rather average and Veselý could not be satisfied.
He is playing Janko Tipsarevič of Serbia in the next match. It is going to be their first mutual match, they have never played each other before. Lukáš Rosol defeated another lucky loser Popek of Kazakhstan. He won in two sets but it was not an easy victory for him. He will play his next match against Ellias Ymer of Sweden. They have equal head-to-head stats 2-2, but the Swede won the last two matches. Rosol did not win a single set at Challengers in Bordeaux and Aix en Provence... The last Tuesday’s match saw Pavlásek defeat Londero of Argentina easily in two sets. He will clash with the No. 7 seed Dutra Silva of Brazil (85th ATP) in the next round.
