He was able to apply pressure when he needed to and in spite the gusty conditions in Melbourne he still finished with more winners than unforced errors. I at least expected Federer make it to the third round so job done in that regard. I feel that Berdych may come a little too early for the Federer recovery. Tomas is a seasoned top ten player and although currently ranked outside the top 10 he has a huge game and can cause Fed trouble.
Federer beat Berdych at the quarter final stage last year in Melbourne and won in straight sets. Roger has won the last 5 times the two have played and has a head to head career record. Berdych has notable victories at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Olympics so is certainly a big game player. Berdych must be a massive favourite for this game.
If he is going to beat Roger on another big occasion, catching Roger cold on the comeback trail is sure to be one of his best chances. I noted in Rogers games so far in that at times he has been pushed back deep on court by bigger hitters. Berdych is certainly a power player and with his serve and flat forehand he can do Roger damage. The London crowd, understandably eager to witness a more competitive encounter, offered warm applause when Berdych secured a routine hold at the start of set two.
However, Wawrinka was soon able to break again, a typically effortless backhand down the line proving decisive as he accepted his third opportunity to move ahead, having successfully challenged a Berdych ace at deuce. A dismissive cross-court return winner from Wawrinka subsequently set up a fourth break of the match and summed up the one-sided nature of the contest. There was to be no way back for Berdych, who quickly subsided thereafter, and the margin of the Czech's defeat leaves him facing a huge battle to reach the semi-finals.

His improved movement is the biggest key to his recent success. Previous to the Djokovic win, Wawrinka defeated Golubev ret in 2nd set , Falla 4 sets , had a walkover in the 3rd round and edged Robredo in the 4th in a tight three setter.

The H2H is for Wawrinka, with the swiss winning the last three encounters, all of them last year, including beating Berdych in the London ATP finals. However, this H2H does not suggest any matchup problems for Berdych, he can play Wawrinka, form and surface are usually making the difference between these two.
While Wawrinka is in great form and had that monumental win against Djokovic, I am rating Berdych as the favorite in this encounter and I just love the odds he is getting. He has played more consistent tennis over the course of this tournament and, very importantly, he has the experience of playing Grand Slam semifinals, an edge that Wawrinka does not have.
Expect both guys to be solid on serve, but Berdych has more chances to break with the returning capabilities he showed in this tournament. Stan is not a top returner. My pick is Berdych to win this in 4 or 5 sets, something like Dimers has full betting coverage of Brandon Nakashima vs.
