Cincinnati R1: Troicki def. Stepanek 7-5 6-1

Radek obviously not all the way back from his litany of physical issues. Hopefully he doesn't become Vaidisova part 2. The H2H was 3-0 going into this match. Radek obviously had issues reacting/timing the ball, Viktor lost 9 total points on serve.

Viktor has a below average record (21-22) this season coming into this event, maybe this easy win can set a bit of a fire under him to spark better results.

Poor sexy. Hope things turn around.

Viktor :)

Of course Victor gets someone who hasn't won a tour level match since February. I admit Djokovic is a tough draw in round 2 though. I hope the number three Serb can beat the number one Serb.

Radek needs to get his sexy back.

expected result

It is sad. Hopefully, Radek will put himself together until the Davis Cup semi-final. Berdman can't win it all by himself :p
