Davis Cup Update: Czechs lead 2-1 after Day 2

On Day 2 of the quarterfinal tie at Ostrava, the Czech team has won the doubles to take a 2-1 lead as Radek Stepanek and Tomas Berdych defeated "Chucho" Acasuso and Leonardo Mayer 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. The Argentine doubles went up a break at the start of the third set. But after a controversial linecall they lost their focus and the atmosphere on court grew somewhat heated.

While Berdych played alongside Stepanek despite having contested a five-set match against "Pico" Monaco yesterday, Tito Vázquez apparently chose to spare Delpo for the first of tomorrow's singles matches. There, he'll take on Berdych. Should Delpo level the score at 2-2, it is to be expected that Stepanek will play the final match against Monaco.
