No. 12 Tomas Berdych simply needs to hold serve twice more for the biggest win of his career, after breaking defending champion No. 1 Roger Federer for a 4-3 lead in the fourth set.
Berdych had his first break point of the game at 30-40, but sailed his forehand return just long. He finished off the break six points later on his second opportunity thanks to a forced error at net off the Federer racquet.
Federer has been hitting his second serve terribly throughout this match, sending the ball in both slowly and without enough slice to stay low. The ball is rising right into the 6’5’’ Berdych’s strike zone, allowing him to tee off on the return and immediately take control of the rallies.
