The Czech Republic enters the tournament with high expectations, and the draw looks promising for a successful week.
Players: Karel Sedlácek / Petr Křivka
Ranking: 14
After a comfortable group stage last year with wins against Bahrain and Iceland, the Czech team stepped into the round of 16 against Sweden. However, they were eliminated there, and this year they aim to go at least as far. The pair looking to take it a step further this year is Karel Sedlácek together with Petr Křivka, meaning Adam Gawlas has been replaced.
The Czech Republic is placed in Group J alongside India and Taiwan. The opening match against India should be an easy win for the Czech team, so the decisive match will very likely be against Taiwan.
