Intro:

Preview ahead of David Cup semi-final between France and the Czech Republic

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic:

"It's going to be definitely a very tough weekend and we are going to face an extremely tough opponent which is playing at home, with a home crowd and a surface that they choose. So, definitely they are many aspects that they go on the other way from us but we've been in this situation in the past and we have those experiences - but again we are starting on zero and both teams are going to try to make three points."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic:

"It's a really good chance for me to play already on Friday the live match and I really look forward to have a good result in this first match I'm really excited so, hopefully, it will be a good level of tennis."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France:

"I think the pressure will be on our shoulders. We are looking for a trophy at the Davis Cup with this generation and they (the Czech Republic) have got it so I think the pressure will be on our side."
