World number 12 Tomas Berdych will head the Czech Republic's team in their Davis Cup World Group first-round tie against the United States.

The 21-year-old Czech, who reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, has a 10-2 record in his four years of Davis Cup play and is likely to be called on for doubles duty as well as two singles matches.

Non-playing captain Jaroslav Navratil's other team members are 91st-ranked Lukas Dlouhy, world number 162 Ivo Minar and doubles specialist Pavel Vizner.

The tie will be played on an indoor clay court in the eastern city of Ostrava from Feb. 9 to 11. The winner will take on either Switzerland or Spain in the next round in April.
