Stepanek ends exile

Published August 15, 2007

PRAGUE, Aug 14: Radek Stepanek has ended his self-imposed Davis Cup exile and will return to the Czech team for next month's World Group playoff against Switzerland, the CTK news agency reported on Tuesday.

“I am glad he returned to the team, the past is forgotten. We have spoken with each other and all has been agreed,” Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil was quoted as saying by CTK.

Stepanek quit the Davis Cup team three years ago after clashing with then captain Cyril Suk.

The 28-year-old concentrated on his individual career and climbed to the eighth in the ATP rankings in July 2006.—Reuters
