It'll be Spain versus Czech Republic

Last Updated 17 September 2012, 17:38 IST

World number six Tomas Berdych completed a clean sweep of wins against Argentina to lead Czech Republic into the Davis Cup final against holders Spain on Sunday.

Berdych, having won his opening singles on Friday and the doubles with Radek Stepanek on Saturday, gave the Czechs an unassailable 3-1 lead in their semifinal at Parque Roca with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Carlos Berlocq.

Spain beat the United States in their semifinal in Gijon. "I'm feeling pretty happy, Argentina's 14-year winning streak at home is a long time and we're the ones that ended it," Berdych told reporters. "There are not many better feelings than this, to win three points in three days and the more so in this place.

"For me, this is the highest I could get in my career and I'm really looking forward to (the final), we'll give our all and it will be good to do that at home," Berdych said.
The Czechs, who lost the 2009 final to Spain in Barcelona, will be at home this time.
They have won the trophy once as Czechoslovakia in 1980.
