“It was an unbelievably even game, we both served until tiebreaks in both sets and it was two balls in each of them that decided. I had a set-point in the first set but he answered with an ace ... he deserved to win, his serving was excellent, he was great at the base line too.”
In any case, it was Berdych’s best appearance at the tournament in Prostejov. What does he wish his friend, Jan Hajek, for tomorrow’s finals? “I wish him to clash with different Darcis than me today, less consistent and flawless,” added disappointed Berdych who is now starting grass season in Halle in Germany.
