Radek Stepanek: Points
built 627 days ago
For the first 10 minutes last night, Stepanek did a credible impression of Hewitt. He broke Hewitt in the opening game that lasted nine minutes and featured five deuces, then held his own serve to luv. It was the storm before the calm. Stepanek would not get as far as break point again for the night.

Not long ago, Stepanek said at one point was scared he was not going to play tennis anymore. Pain in his neck last August caused him to lose feeling in his right arm.

Robredo, who dropped just one set all week en route to victory, dominated Stepanek in almost every department. He put 79 percent of first serves into play and he won 68 percent of points on his second serve, compared to Stepanek's second-serve winning percentage of just 38.
