Rosol to lead Czechs against Aussies in Davis Cup
Czech Republic's Lukas Rosol
Prague - Arab Today
Lukas Rosol will spearhead the Czech Republic's team for the Davis Cup World Group first round match with Australia from March 6-8 in Ostrava, team captain Jaroslav Navratil announced on Monday.
Rosol, ranked 30th in the world, will be the highest-ranked player after world number 8 Tomas Berdych said he would give the match a miss.
Both Berdych and veteran Radek Stepanek, who is injured, were pivotal players in the Davis Cup winning teams of 2012 and 2013.
Switzerland replaced them as champions last year.
Rosol, who was in a similar position in last year's quarter-finals which resulted in a 5-0 thrashing of Japan, will be joined by Jiri Vesely, ranked 46th in the world.
Two players ranked lower than 200 make up the team, in Adam Pavlasek and Jan Mertl.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.
