RPM Spoj Prague surprised with a win over Sparta and will challenge Prostějov in the final of the Tennis Extraliga
The record holders of the competition from Prostějov, who are attacking for the nineteenth title, followed up on the victory over Přerov and decided to advance after the singles. David Poljak, Kristýna Tomajková, Sára Bejlek and Jakub Menšík took care of the points. He did not start against Maxim Mrv’s opponent.
Last year’s second finalist Sparta, on the other hand, did not succeed. After the victories of Barbora Palicová, Michaela Vrbenský and Petra Kvitová, the ten-time champions led 3:0, but they did not add any more success. Matěj Vocel, Petr Nouza, Toby Kodat and in doubles Jesika Malečková with Miriam Kolodziejová and Vocel with Matwe Middelkoop took care of a surprising turn.
