A Berdych forehand down the line return winner on breakpoint evened the second set at 4 all. At 5-6, two following Ferrer groundstrokes hit long would level the match at one set all 6-3, 5-7.

Mixing aggressive groundstrokes and aces routinely struck at speeds of 130 miles per hour or more, the 26 year old Berdych raced to a 4-0 final set lead.

A 135 mile per hour ace out wide on game point put the Czech up 5-0.

Two final holds of serve ended the match 3-6, 7-5, 6-1.

The 6 foot, 5 inches tall Berdych posted his best ever grand slam result in reaching the Wimbledon final in 2010 before losing to Rafeal Nadal of Spain 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.

One of the taller players of the ATP World Tour, Berdych is known for his hard hitting power game.

In 2005, Berdych scored his lone ATP Tour Tour singles title indoors in Paris after defeating Ivan Ljubucic of Serbia 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4.
