Davis Cup: Karlovic to open semifinal vs. Stepanek

Published Sep 23, 2009

POREC, Croatia(AP) Ivo Karlovic will open for Croatia against Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic in the first singles match of their Davis Cup semifinal.

The draw on Thursday also pitted Croatia's Marin Cilic against Tomas Berdych in the second singles match on Friday.

In doubles play Saturday, Lovro Zovko and Roko Karanusic will play Czech pair Lukas Dlouhy and Jan Hajek. Reverse singles are scheduled for Sunday.

Croatia, the 2005 champion, has lost only once in the past 12 Davis Cup matches at home. The Czechs, who won in 1980, are playing their first Davis Cup semifinal in 13 years.
