Congratulations to Andy Murray for reaching his 4th Aussie Open final! Let's hope fourth time is a charm. I would say that Murray really wants to win this title to prove the doubters wrong. That is why he was very pumped last night. In addition, he wanted to show that hiring Amelie was the correct decision. I will you this: Even though Murray's game looks the same, I think having Amelie on his side has made him more confident and more relax. Finally, with this win, Murray is back to number 4 in the world so that means the Big Four has taken the Top 4 rankings.
As for Berdych, he had a good tournament. He beat Nadal for the first time since 2006 and he played 16 amazing sets. Unfortunately, that 16th set was ultimately his downfall. I could tell that first set took a lot of him both physically and mentally. But credit for Murray for making Berdych run a lot and move him side to side. That's one of the keys of the match. If Murray can make Berdych run from side to side then he would wear out Berdych. And that's what happened to Berdych. That's one of the reasons Berdych started to miss a lot of balls. Part of the reason is also that Berdych is just not mentally tough to win a slam.
Finally, this match showed you that it is really hard to win a slam in these days. Not only you have to be physically fit but you also have to be mentally ready to grind every single point. That's why Nole, Federer, Nadal, and Murray are hard to beat in a Slam because they are physically fit and mentally tough. They can play for long hours and they know what it takes to win a slam.
