Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil says he plans to go to next month's Davis Cup finals against Spain with the same players that beat Croatia in the semifinals. Navratil told Czech public radio Friday that 14th ranked Radek Stepanek, who beat fourth-ranked Andy Murray 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the third round of the Paris Masters on Thursday, will be again accompanied by Tomas Berdych at the Dec 4-6 Davis Cup tie in Barcelona. Jan Hajek and doubles specialist Lukas Dlouhy are also on the Czech team that qualified for its first Davis Cup finals after beating France, Argentina and Croatia. Czechoslovakia, which split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993, won the competition in 1980.
