TERRIBLE START

Argentina has had a terrible start to their Davis Cup semi final clash against Czech Republic. At the end of the first day, the visitors were down by 2-0 and now, Czech Republic just needs one victory to cruise into the final.

In the first singles match of the tie, Radek Stepanek took on Juan Monaco and managed to outclass him easily.  Stepanek won the match in the straight sets by 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-2.

Stepanek has come into this tie with some great form. He has just lifted the US Open men’s doubles trophy and he is full of confidence at the moment.

He looked just a little bit rusty in the first few games of the opening set today, but, he quickly got his rhythm back and took Monaco apart.

Talking to the reporters in the evening, Stepanek said, “The start wasn’t great for me, but, after spending a bit of time there, I started timing the shots well.”

On the other hand, Monaco was of the opinion that the pace in the surface helped the Czech player.

Monaco said, “A few chances came my way in the opening set, but, I couldn’t really make the most of them.”

“Radek was fantastic today. The surface was quick and that was idle for him.”

Czech Republic’s lead got extended to 2-0 later in the day when Tomas Berdych got better of Leonardo Mayer in 4 sets. Berdych won the match by 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Argentina hasn’t won the Davis Cup even once so far. Last year, they were beaten by Czech Republic in the semi finals and they are in danger of being knocked out by the same opponent this year as well.

In the press conference at the end of the day’s play, the skipper of Argentina Martin Jaite said, “It hasn’t finished yet. We can still bounce back.”

DEL POTRO DEFEATED

Juan Martin Del Potro has been defeated by the local boy John Isner in the semi final round of the ongoing Western and Southern Open. Isner won the match in three sets by 6-7(4), 7-6(9), 6-3.

It was a remarkable comeback by the American lad. He was on the verge of defeat at one point of time, but, he fought back amazingly well and ended up pulling off an upset.

This is the second time that Isner has made his way into the title round of a Masters 1000 tournament. He had done that last year as well when he had reached the final of BNP Paribas Open.

Talking to the reporters in the post match interview, Isner said, “It’s fantastic to be in the final of a big tournament again. My form has been decent this season, but, I haven’t been consistent. But, in this tournament, I think I have played some very good tennis.”

In the opening set, neither of the two players managed to sneak a breakthrough in the first 12 games and the scores got tied at 6-6. As a result, the set was extended into the tie breaker.

The tie breaker was pretty tight as well, but, towards the end, Del Potro got a crucial mini break and pulled it off to win the opener.

In the second set, the first 7 games went with the serve and at the end of the 7^th game; the score was 4-3 in the favour of Del Potro.

The Argentinean player extended his lead to 5-3 with a breakthrough in the 8^th game, but, he couldn’t consolidate on that in the next game as his serve was broken for the first time in the match.

The next 3 games went with the serve and the second set went into the tie breaker too. Again, the tie breaker went all the way down to the wire, but, this time, it was Isner who held his nerve and won it to drag the match further.

In the decider, Isner was off to a flier. He broke Del Potro’s serve in the second game and took a lead of 3-0. All he needed to do after that was to win his remaining service games and he did that without having too many problems to knock Del Potro out of the tournament.

In the final match, Isner will face the Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal.
