Czech tennis players have advanced to the second phase of the Davis Cup, following a victory over South Korea in Saturday's qualifier doubles match for Tomáš Macháč and Jakub Menšík, who defeated Nam Ji-sung and Chung Yun-seong 6:3, 6:1 on the hard-surface court in Ostrava. The Czech team under debuting captain Tomáš Berdych won 4:0 in matches.

In the next round, the Czechs will play the USA team, who defeated Taiwan 4:0 in matches. The match will take place in September in the USA. The Czech representatives have advanced from the Davis Cup qualification for the third time in a row; last year they defeated Israel in Vendryně, and the previous year they succeeded in Portugal.
