2014 Aussie Open SF: Wawrinka vs. Berdych

[brokenshoelace]

And despite being a big hitter, he doesnt like to rush and play first strike tennis.his rally backhand for instance is harmles

 

[brokenshoelace]

harmless*

 

[brokenshoelace]

Unlike say, Soderling, wholl pull the trigger more quickly.

 

[tented]

Remember Wimbledon 2010? Berdych blew Fed off the court, then went down like a kitten against Rafa in the final.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yeah and almost all of Berdychs wins over Fed came at a time when Fed was moving poorly.

 

[kskate2]

T. Berd is a kitten

 

[tented]

I always thought that was an interesting example of match ups

 

[brokenshoelace]

Except maybe the US Open in 2012.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Wimbledon 2010...I think Fed was having back issues.

 

[tented]

Ah, that explains it then.

 

[tented]

I didnt remember that.

 

[brokenshoelace]

0-15. Berdych needs to take a couple of risks.

 

[kskate2]

you dont remember the back issues?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Federer said his back was hurting straight after in the press conference and was crucified on the boards.

 

[kskate2]

that was off the line

 

[tented]

Not at the 2010 Wimbledon, no.

 

[tented]

Geez, my memory is terrible.

 

[kskate2]

BS is right. It was a huge story back then

 

[tented]

Its embarrassing, really.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Berdych looks like hell be the first to blink in this set.
