Russia's tennis team is continuing preparations ahead of their Davis Cup quarter-final against the Czech Republic this weekend.

Their opponents – the Czech Republic players are in Moscow and confident they can skip past the challenge of Russia in their upcoming quarter-final.

Leading the Czechs is Thomas Berdych, one of the best young players in the game. Ranked 8th in the world, he only arrived in Moscow on Monday.

Berdych's current form poses a real threat to Russia.

Bolstering the Czech attack is World Number 28 Radek Stepanek. Like Berdych he has a winning record in Davis Cup ties.

It's Stepanek and Berdych who will spearhead the Czech attack and expect them, if fit, to play all in four singles.
