Train named after tennis star Berdych

A Pendolino high speed train has been named after the Czech men's tennis number one Tomas Berdych. The world number 19 launched the train with a bottle of champagne on Saturday. He said he had never dreamt he would have a locomotive named after him. Berdych and his Czech team-mates arrived in Ostrava on the train on Saturday. Next weekend they will be taking on the USA in the Davis Cup in the city.
