The Czech Republic got within a point of defending their Davis Cup title as the Serbian pair of Ilija Bozoljac and Nenad Zimonjic went down to Czechs Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek in Saturday's doubles in Belgrade.
According to Sport24, Berdych and Stepanek won the 14th of their 15 Davis Cup doubles rubbers together as they swept the hosts 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) in two hours and 12 minutes to give the Czechs a 2-1 lead over 2010 champions Serbia.
In Sunday's reverse singles, world number two Novak Djokovic will first take on Berdych and Stepanek is due to face Dusan Lajovic, world number 117 who has replaced the injured 36th-ranked Janko Tipsarevic, the report said.
However, Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic said he might call on Bozoljac for the fifth rubber, according to the report.
