2014 Aussie Open SF: Wawrinka vs. Berdych

[brokenshoelace]

It might not work but its at least better than what hes doing now.

 

[kskate2]

agreed

 

[brokenshoelace]

Wawrinka might choose to keep doing what hes doing and see if Berdych has a bad service game within the next couple of games

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

swinging more freely reminds of johnny weissmuller in those tarzan films

 

[tented]

And what about Stan? What do you think he should do?

 

[kskate2]

more whining from Berd to the chair

 

[tented]

Never mind ... didnt see your message before posting mine.

 

[brokenshoelace]

I think hes being the better player in general, and dominating backhand CC exchanges. Think hes doing well generally.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Wow, I dont recall Wawrinkas forehand looking so good in a while. Much better than the Novak match.

 

[kskate2]

more FH winners

 

[brokenshoelace]

That extra bit of mobility Wawrinka has does make a difference in a match-up like this one.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Ultimately thats probably why Berdych has never really won anything of significance. Just not a good enough mover.

 

[brokenshoelace]

When you have such a big game you can catch fire and beat anyone, but eventually youll run into someone who can move you around

 

[kskate2]

those moths are roadkill down there

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

burd whines on ..his high voice is more irritating than defecating seagulls.

 

[tented]

I think thats part of why Rafa has had such success against him.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Thats more than part of it. Thats pretty much the match-up in a nutshell. Angled top spins to the backhand...

 

[kskate2]

that sound eerily similar to what Annacone said about Berd last year

 

[brokenshoelace]

...take him out of the court, get on top of the rally, win the point. Rise, rinse, repeat.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Which means that for Berdych to beat Nadal he has to redline his game and hit huge.
