Radek Stepanek has recovered from neck surgery and is expected to play doubles for Czech Republic in Davis Cup quarts against Kazakhstan.
Prague: Radek Stepanek has recovered from neck surgery and is expected to play doubles for defending champion Czech Republic in next month's Davis Cup quarter-finals against Kazakhstan.
Stepanek, who underwent surgery on January 28, is likely to team up again with Tomas Berdych for the April 5-7 matchup on an indoor clay court in Astana. Stepanek and Berdych played all five matches when the Czechs beat Spain 3-2 in the final last November in Prague.
Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil said Tuesday that Stepanek is unlikely to play singles this time. He called up three more players - Jan Hajek, Ivo Minar and Lukas Rosol. Kazakhstan are the last team that beat the Czechs, upsetting the hosts 3-2 in the first round in 2011.
