Czech Coach Jaroslav Navratil activated double trouble to play doubles today. Lukas Dlouhy and Jan Hajek were slated to play for the Czech Republic, but it looks like the Czechs went with what was tried and true.

Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek were back to crushing dreams this afternoon in Belgium. They had an impressive victory over Steve Darcis and Olivier Rochus and beat the Belgians 6-3 6-0 6-4. The win allows the Czechs to advance into the Davis Cup quarterfinals. The Czech Republic now awaits the winner of the Chile-Israel match.

Czech double trouble was back to doing what they do best -- kicking other Davis Cup teams to the curb. Last year’s Davis Cup finalists put themselves in the driver's seat today against Belgium. Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek jumped out into a 2-0 lead after just 4 hours and 37 minutes and six-consecutive sets.

Usually Berdych and Stepanek pull double duty, but Lukas Dlouhy and Jan Hajek are slated to play doubles tomorrow against Steve Darcis and Olivier Rochus. Even if the Czechs lose tomorrow, double trouble should be able to wrap it up on Sunday.

Novak Djokovic booked the last spot against Tommy Haas in the Halle final. The Serb was able to get passed Belgian Olivier Rochus 7-6(7) 6-4 in just under two hours of play.

Djokovic now advances to his third career meeting with Haas and is 2-0 over the German in their head-to-head matchup. Their last meeting was in the second round of Indian Wells this year. Like Andy Murray, he is looking to win his first grass tournament.

Novak Djokovic had a routine win over Austrian Jurgen Melzer 6-1 6-4 after just 66 minutes of play. Today's victory was a much easier win for the Serb after yesterday's match with Florent Serra where he had to save five match points before securing the victory.

Djokovic advances to the semifinals to play qualifier Olivier Rochus, who beat Benjamin Becker. Rochus is 2-0 over the Serb. The last time the two players met was in 2005 when Djokovic was just 17 years old, and a lot has changed since then.
