The Czech Republic booked a Davis Cup quarter-final date with Kazakhstan after Tomas Berdych beat Stanislas Wawrinka to seal a 3-1 victory over Switzerland on Sunday.

Back on court after both played in an epic 7 hours, 1 minute doubles match on Saturday, Czech No.1 Berdych beat Swiss team leader Wawrinka 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-5) in the first of the reverse singles rubbers.

Sunday’s match took three hours, 15 minutes – lasting less than half the time of the longest match in Davis Cup history.

The defending champion Czechs earned a home quarterfinal against Kazakhstan in April.

Berdych was more clinical Sunday, after he and partner Lukas Rosol had needed 13 match points to finish a 24-22 fifth set against Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli.

The sixth-ranked Czech clinched on his first chance when Wawrinka’s cross-court shot clipped the net cord and looped wide.

Berdych reeled off three straight points to win the tie-breaker as 17th-ranked Wawrinka seemed poised to force more fifth-set drama.

Wawrinka extended his run of hard-luck losses in 2013, which began against Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic. The Swiss lost that fourth-round clash 12-10 in the fifth after 5 hours, 2 minutes.
