Uncle started the duel of Prague rivals with a victory over Tereza Martincova 6: 2, 6: 4, while in the second set she lost 1: 4. “I evaluate it positively. I did the work I probably wanted. There are things I need to improve,” Uncle said.
The world doubles double also won a victory point. Together with Kristýna Plíšková in the doubles, they defeated Karolína Muchová and Lucia Hradecká twice 6: 4. Patrik Rikl, Michal Vrbenský and experienced Lukáš Rosol took care of other points in singles. On behalf of the First ČLTK, Václav Šafránek corrected by winning over the Czech male duo Tomáš Macháč.
Kvitová returned to the extra league after three years. The match was played for the first time since the semifinals at the Roland Garros in October and after training in Dubai. “It wasn’t the best, I always need a few matches to get into it. There are mistakes in full preparation and it was obvious,” she said. “Margaret took it and didn’t make easy mistakes like I did.”
This year, Vondroušová defeated Kvitová in the charity tennis competition of the Tipsport Elite Trophy teams on clay in Prostějov. She did the same now on the hard surface in the hall in Říčany. She made less mistakes and served better. “I played quite well. Petra didn’t play very well, she spoiled quite a bit, but it’s a good victory for me. I tried to get back as much as possible and I managed to keep the service,” Vondroušová said.
Prostějov played a 3: 3 draw with Přerov in singles, but he won all three doubles. Sára Bejleková and Polka Maja Chwaliňská won in a super tie-break and Jiří Lehečka also succeeded in a pair with Slovak Igor Zelenay and Jiří Veselý with David Poljak.
Sparta will play against Říčany on Sunday and the win will send it to Wednesday’s final. Prostějov would advance in the event of Monday’s victory over Pardubice.
