15:30 Lukasz Rosol – Thanasi Kokkinakis

Lukas Rosol will face Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first match of Davis cup duel between Czech Republic and Australia .

Czech have chosen a slower surface for this duel which is understandable considering that Australians are much better on faster surfaces and this surface will definitely slow down their serves .

That is the reason why I will go on Rosol here , even he is not in good form . Kokkinakis don’t have much experience on other surfaces except hard . He playing on his strong serve and he more likes shorter points but he will not have much chances for that in this match . Rosol also have very strong serve but he is much better in long rallies than Kokkinakis and also home atmosphere will have big effect in this match so I will take Rosol win here .
