Tomas Berdych earns a four-set victory over fellow Czech Radek Stepanek to reach the third round of the French Open.

Fourth seed Tomas Berdych has moved into the third round of the French Open after beating fellow Czech Radek Stepanek in a tricky four-set encounter.

Berdych opened up a 3-0 lead at the start of the opening set before saving five break points to take it 6-3.

However, the unpredictable Stepanek fought back in the second, which was settled via a tie-break. There was little to separate the compatriots during the breaker, but it was the world number 129 who eventually came through 7-6(7).

A closely-fought third set was deadlocked until Berdych broke at 2-1, and the former Wimbledon finalist was able to hold his nerve after that to close it out 6-3.

An early break for Berdych saw the Czech get off to a positive start in the fourth. From there the world number four remained steady to secure a 6-3 6-7(7) 6-3 6-3 triumph.
