The Czech Republic swept past Serbia in the doubles for a 2-1 lead in the Davis Cup final on Saturday, leaving them one victory away from retaining the cup. Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. Berdych plays Novak Djokovic, on a 23-match winning run, in the first reverse singles on Sunday, and the final could be decided when Stepanek likely meets cup rookie Dusan Lajovic in the final rubber. "I am in the best possible position after Saturday," said Berdych, who has beaten Djokovic only twice in 16 encounters, and never on a hard court. "I have nothing to lose. I am going to go there and fight for each point." Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic said Zimonjic and Bozoljac gave their best, but lost against a better pair. "But we were in similar situations before," Obradovic said. Serbia came from 2-1 down in the 2010 cup final against France, and in this years semifinals against Canada. But both heroes of those ties arent playing. Viktor Troicki, who clinched Serbias only cup title in 2010, is serving a doping ban, and Janko Tipsarevic, who secured the win over Canada, is sidelined by a heel injury. Obradovic said he was not sure if Lajovic, who lost against Berdych in straight sets on Friday, would play if theres a fifth rubber. On Saturday, the Czechs broke Zimonjic at the start of the first two sets. Zimonjic netted an easy volley in the second set to give the Czechs a commanding two-set lead. Stepanek played almost faultlessly. He saved the only break point for the Serbs at 2-3 in the third set with a neat drop shot. In the third-set tiebraker, Stepanek first lost his serve, but then Zimonjic and Bozoljac both suffered mini-breaks. Stepanek won the match with an ace. "Today, it worked out really well. We fit perfectly. Honestly," Stepanek said. "It was one of the best matches we played. But, we have to stay humble, focused and concentrated. "If it comes down to the fifth match, I will be ready to fight to the last point." Zimonjic said "they were better in every aspect of the game." "We had a little chance in the third set, but that was the only one. They were controlling the match from the beginning to the end." Reshad Jones Jersey .ca.

The hometown fans regularly serenade him with chants of Reg-gie, Reg-gie. Hes a respected leader and mentor in the locker room and a pillar in the community of his adopted hometown.He also knows this is no time for a victory lap — not with a playoff spot and two of the Colts most revered records on the line Sunday.I put my hard hat on and go to work, Wayne said. I just want to be here with my teammates. Being available is something Ive always taken pride in.Few NFL players have stuck around longer or been more consistent over 14 seasons than Wayne.He goes into this week tied with Peyton Manning for most games played (208) and most wins (141) in franchise history. A victory over Houston (7-6) would break the ties and allow Wayne to celebrate his ninth division title.Those who know Wayne arent surprised by his resume — 1,061 receptions, seventh in league history; 14,207 yards, eighth; 82 TD receptions, tied for 22nd; 82 consecutive games with three catches or more, an NFL record; six Pro Bowl appearances; two AFC championships and one Super Bowl ring.Former Colts general manager Bill Polian is already lobbying for Waynes Hall of Fame candidacy.The numbers only provide a small glimpse into the everyday impact Wayne makes, though.I think whats really helpful about having a guy like Reggie in the locker room is that he takes such a big burden off the other guys, backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. Hes the guy people want to talk to after a bad game, hes the guy the marketing department goes to, hes the guy they ask to do community outreach, hes the guy who can walk down to the coachs office or the GMs office and say, Hey, somethings out of balance in the locker room, and that allows the younger guys to just play football.Sure, Wayne has some fun.His grand entrances at training camp have become the stuff of legend — driving a dump truck, showing up in a military convoy, riding on a helicopter with a recovering hospital patient. Its not just show. Theres always a deeper message, like this summer when he arrived in an IndyCar — demonstrating he had his wheels back after tearing the ACL in his right knee.But Polian never doubted Waynes skills or personality would help him excel.It was one of the reasons Polian defied conventional wisdom in the 2001 draft, taking Wayne instead of a defensive player.The initial plan, Polian explained, was to choose a defensive tacklle with the 22nd overall pick.dddddddddddd When the Colts turn came, the player they coveted was gone. With no consensus among the coaches and scouts about who to take, Polian dealt the pick to the Giants who chose cornerback Will Allen. Polian then took Wayne at No. 30.He was absolutely a terrific route runner, a clutch performer with a great work ethic and great football instincts, Polian said. Everybody in that room was really convinced we had a good one.At first, Wayne wasnt so good.He spent the better part of two seasons working through injuries and developing a rapport with Manning.In 2003, Wayne blossomed in an offence that featured Manning, Marvin Harrison and two-time NFL rushing champ Edgerrin James. By 2006, Wayne was emerging as the next big thing and wound up dancing in the rain after catching a TD pass in Indys Super Bowl win.Not long after that, Wayne supplanted the aging and injured Harrison as Mannings No. 1 target, a title he held until the Colts embarked on a massive rebuilding project after the 2011 season. When Manning was cut, Wayne considered leaving.Coach Chuck Pagano, an old friend, urged Wayne to stay and the receiver gave Indy a hometown discount on a three-year deal so he could come back and work with rookie Andrew Luck.I dont want to think about that, Luck said when asked how different things might have been without Wayne. He was so instrumental in my growth as a rookie. Hes still instrumental in the growth of this team.He was still his young self in 2012 and was playing well last year until the ACL injury.This year has not gone according to the script.After a solid start, Wayne tore his left triceps and injured his left elbow Oct. 19. He missed the next game and has caught only eight passes for 46 yards in the last three, prompting talk about possible retirement when his contract runs out after the season.Yet Wayne has continued to be the consummate professional by never complaining and always showing up for practices and games and still making plays on bad days, such as the rub route that got T.Y. Hilton open for Lucks winning TD pass at Cleveland.Thats Reggie.Hes a Hall of Fame receiver in my opinion five years after he ever decides to retire. And hell go down as one of the all-time great receivers and certainly one of the all-time great Colts of all time, Manning said. He was a great guy to play with, a great teammate and a heck of a wide receiver.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
