A specific draw with the help of a teleconference from both metropolises decided the order of matches of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup selections and teams under the age of 23.
On Saturday, the 65th player in the world, Veselý, will face Lukáš Klein (306th in the ATP rankings) and Lukáš Rosol (180th) will face Norbert Gombos (109). On Sunday, according to the Davis Cup format, the singles, doubles and duel will close in doubles. “This connection between the Czech Republic and Slovakia offers the best opportunity to return to the match rhythm. Every week you can feel that the restart of the season is approaching,” said Veselý.
The Daviscup team defeated the Slovaks in the first men’s match in Bratislava in March. “It will probably not be as brazen as in Bratislava, but the fighter’s instinct is in each of us. It will have a charge and we will all want to show the best tennis,” said Veselý, who was the architect of the Czech team’s progress to the Madrid final tournament. from this November to next year.
The match of fedcup teams will start last year’s finalist Roland Garros and world eighteen Vondroušová with Anna Karolína Schmiedlová (181st) and then Tereza Martincová (133rd) will face the Slovak number one Viktoria Kužmová (82nd). “We will fight and enjoy it,” Vondrousova said.
“It’s a great idea and I’ll keep my fingers crossed,” said Petra Kvitová at the lottery in Bratislava. The two-time Wimbledon winner was supposed to be the Czech number one, but in the end she cannot start due to a renewed injury to her left forearm.
