Tennis: Davis Cup final begins

This year’s Davis Cup final has begun, between defending champion the Czech Republic and Serbia. Veteran Czech tennis player Radek Štepánek, who sealed the deal in 2012 by defeating Spain’s Nicolas Amalgro, is on court against World No. 2 Novak Djokovic. The second singles match on Friday will see World No. 7 Tomáš Berdych take on Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic (replacing Janko Tipsarovic who is out with an injury). This year’s Davis Cup Final is the 101st.
