Australian Open semi-finalist Tomas Berdych will lead defending champions the Czech Republic next week in the first round of the Davis Cup against the Netherlands.
Berdych will again team up with Radek Stepanek, the two played all five matches when the Czechs beat Spain 3-2 in the 2012 final. They did the same in Belgrade in November, when they beat Serbia 3-2 to retain the title.
Lukas Rosol and Jiri Vesely are also in the Czech squad for the January 31-February 2 tie on an indoor hardcourt at CEZ Arena in the eastern Czech city of Ostrava.
Berdych beat David Ferrer 6-1 6-4 2-6 6-4 on Tuesday to earn a spot in the Australian Open semis for the first time.
