Czech tennis number one Štepánek out for two months with fatigue

Czech tennis player Radek Štepánek is taking two months off to rest. The 31-year-old, who is the Czech men’s number one, is suffering from fatigue syndrome. A spokesman for the Czech Republic’s Davis Cup team said that Štepánek could miss the World Team Cup in Germany’s Duesseldorf in May. The world number 18 could also be out for the French Open, which begins on May 23, and the Davis Cup quarter-finals, which take place in Chile in July. Last year, he helped the Czech team reach the final.
