07.06.2017 17:30:42 | Jiri Vesely defended last year's quarterfinal at the renowned Prostejov challenger. Second seeded Vesely defeated Marcelo Arevalo of Salvador in today's match of the second round. "It was easier than I thought," said Vesely after advancing to quarterfinal. "I soon saw that Arevalo had nothing on me and although I am still struggling with a cold, I strode to victory."
If Pavlasek gains victory over Belarussian Ignatik, they would face each other in the quarterfinals. "It would definitely be an interesting match for tennis fans. Adam and I know each other from childhood, we have played many matches. It would be much harder for me mentally as he would play with a player with a better ranking, so he has nothing to lose. But, as in any match, you must not think too much who is on the other side and you just have to have the desire to win."
