BEAST MODE BERDYCH! Tomas Berdych EPIC Finish To Defeat Federer In Miami 2010 

Along with Ferrer, Nalbandian, Tsonga

Never won a slam. Obviously that's not a good excuse for a player of his caliber; he should've gotten some coverage. But that's very very much the reason.

@@thebigsquirrel50 Let's not more pretend Cilic will get a ton of attention.

@@dez8685 1 slam. Not much better. Again, he should, but he won't. Edit: let me clarify: 1 slam in the age of *THREE* GOATS.

@@thebigsquirrel50 David Ferrer has never won a slam too. The ATP put him all over the place though when he retired. No disrespect to David, lol. I have massive respect for him. I am just sad for Thomas.

@@solotiana7251 I may have a possible explanation then. David was always connected to Rafa due to Davis Cup *AND* always being the 2nd best Spaniard, so attention was put on him more than most non-slam winners. I think when people say that Eastern Europeans are put in the shadows (except Russians usually), they have merit, but it's not intentional by the ATP. Berdych was never connected to a superstar player, but David was. At this point, the excuses still shouldn't excuse the fact that his retirement was rather quiet in comparison to others.

Neatest player on tour. Hardly ever mistimed a ball. Errors were inevitably due to overhitting and not due to mis-timing or poor footwork.

@@gokulgirish6586 Lack of mobility compared to the Big 4 as it was is what hindered him, as a result couldn't defend as well.

Yes, incredibly clean hitter. I remember watching him play Agassi as an 18 year old at the AO. They were blasting the ball past each other! Agassi won 0, 2 and 4 (or so I think), but he also acnowledged Berdych's shot quality afterwards.

@@michaelcurtis1330 Also, for the longest time his strategy was "Plan A. And if Plan A does not work, more Plan A and hope it starts working". Late in his career he tried to add more tools to his belt, but it was a bit too late.

yes, me too, so much style and talent, such a shame he had to retire!

Both of them better than current players all , except Novak and Rafa , both will win 4 slams at least now

yeah the smile says it all LOL 😎👍

Just like Novak at USO 2011. Not exactly a smile, but that "I got this yall" expression.

Wimbledon 2010 semis comes to mind

Peak Federer jajaja

2 times.

I still remember Medvedev beating peak Djokovic at the US Open

@@SHVideografie that wasnt a peak novak and why the hell are you dragging novak in here

he lacked TOP SPIN!

@Timmy Tran are you talking about the guy who’s married now and who used to be Safarova’s boyfriend?

The match where he got double bageled. 😂 XD

When he silenced the Madrid crowd after beating Nadal.

His back2back victories against Fed. n Djoko at Wimbledon 2010 or/and his 2012 QF against Fed. at US open. Beautiful aggressive tennis n hitting.

Destroying peak Federer at Wimby 2010 and USO 2012.

His retirement.

I think he managed to beat all of the big four at Grandslam in "QF or better".

Because back at that year, there’s a lot of monsters, there’s a prime federer, prime nadal, prime djokovic, prime murray, also wawrinka, it’s really tough for him

Last 4 not on the level as the others

Also would u include Soderling?

All of them had a weak mentality, except for Ferrer who didn't had the strokes.

Wawrinka and Murray would have pummeled them if not for the big 3

@@numbersindia5312 Murray and Wawrinka top players and yes had a better careers than them with 3 slams each yeah you could say they where just above those players I listed

@@numbersindia5312 Neither.

Ferrer and Berdych were gate keepers between the 'Big 4' (Murray as it was) to the rest of the field.

Korda is more similar in Tennis style.

Tbh berdych had cleaner shots and was More offensive baseline game, i think the serve its the only thing Sacha its better than Berdych

@@diegosotomiranda4107 I can't say for career-wise, as the nextgen are still quite young but for the moment, for players with similar styles, the nextgen still seems to be weaker than the previous generation Berdych > Zverev (tall aggressive baseliner) Wawrinka > Tsitsipas (single-hand power baseliner) Ferrer > Rublev (speedy baseliner) Tsonga > Berrettini (power player with focus on serve and forehand) I think so far only Medvedev on hardcourts holds a candle

@@lotus630 how the hell can Berdych be the better player when Zverev is only 24 and already has wayyyy more big titles than Berdych? Zverev has 5 master titles and an ATP finals at 24, Berdych won one single master in his whole career. Also, Rublev is not even short, his height is 1.88 cm (don't know how much in feet, but it's exactly Djokovic's height)

@@dani__crocs yeah, Rublev isn't actually short. I guess the way he plays just gives me the impression that he is. correction on that as for Berdych vs Zverev, I suggest you read my comment again and think about what I was trying say

@@dani__crocs Winning big titles in the late 2010's and early 2020's in nowhere near as great achievement as doing it in the late 2000's and early 2010's.

True that.. Nike has become shit in their designs nowadays.. and yet it was legendary once.. especially from 2009-2014 period

@@truthseekertitan3986 I especially loved when players didn't wear the same Nike kits at slams. Now, save for a few, every player rather in the top 10 or a qualifier, wear the same outfit. It's stupid and lazy.

@@pomerlain8924 exactly.. Nike had at least 3 or 4 different designs for each swings+ premium designs for Fedal especially. Now it's monotonous, repeatative and lacks quality in general.

Not for a 1st time that happened

@@Aksriv100 that was sarcasm.

Federer can easily end any match but he instead give the victory to the little players just like he did in this video and like Wimbledon 2019 and more and more

@@user-rg9ic7hs9r 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@user-rg9ic7hs9r this has to absolute limit of shit what fed fans can go at,

Agreed. 2010-2016 was the era of complacency for Federer. Only in 2017 did he finally wake up, but it's too late, lol

@@pokalorentz9363 even when he woke up but he still committed same mistake by missing out on match points on his own serve.

You do know Berdych actually won the match point rather than Fed messing up. Berdych made an aggressive return that put Fed in his back foot and drew a short ball that Berdych put away with a FH winner. Everybody gets caught up with Federer losing out on MPs, and don't give respect to the fact that some of his opponents actually won those MPs.

@@pomerlain8924 i am a huge admirer of roger but the only question that comes in my mind is that why only him. there are so many occasions of roger doing this, why are rafa and novak or any other are not in those lists of wasting MPs.

@@pomerlain8924 Honestly, don't bother. Just let them prattle on. I've started to enjoy reading all the sheer nonsense around these parts. I've said numerous times that Djoker saved those USO 10 MPs with massive FHs and it has made not a shred of difference, because Fed as 'mentally weak' is the more important narrative. And YEP, I've also made the argument about the opponent not getting credit when every loss from MP up is regarded as Fed's failure. Again, not a shred of difference. LOL. I just smirk about it now. On this particular MP, I suppose you COULD argue that the second serve was not good, 'cos it was right in Berdych's strike zone and allowed him to tee off on the FH. But if he went for the lines and hit a DF, people would still say it was a choke, so...

I feel 2010 is as if he started becoming complacent, still playing decent but with not enough willpower to close up matches.

He was never the same after Aus 2010. Probably lost motivation after beating the GS record.

@@14DANESSJ Exactly. Only at 2017 did he finally "wake up" and have the willpower to close up matches, like in the 5th set of AO final against Nadal. But it was too late. Lol

@@pokalorentz9363 Well Wimbledon 2012 was pretty impressive. Had to win from 2 sets down, then beat Djokovic and Murray back to back to claim number 17. That definitely required a little willpower.

Wawrinka, cilic, Medvedev, del Potro and thiem disagree

Hell no.

Berdych was in the prime golden Big 4 era 2010_2016 Wawrinka and delpotro Also great but less than berdych

@@onlysmmk all the players I mentioned won at least 1 slam lol

@@blue_red_screen Lol don't put medvedev in there he's a great player but he faced no real threat to win that grandslam

They are getting old. It's not possible for them to play every tournament which they did when they were younger.

They would have several! It makes me sad. Guys like Ferrer, Berdych and Tsonga were not only super consistent, but they had such high level games and more importantly great mentalities. They basically made it to every quarter or semi of a slam and were pretty much only ever stopped by the big 4, and even then they would sometimes beat one of the big 4 before losing to another in the next round! Super unlucky to have played during the golden era of men's tennis. In any other era, they would have been world number 1s and multiple time slam champions.

@@DrFearfall You could say that about anyone in other eras. Especially those who were in the group below Borg, McEnroe and Connors. Or Laver, Emerson and Newcombe who would get to Quarter finals and get beat by one of them. I can already think of 2 British players who come to mind, Tim Henman and Roger Taylor. Made many Semi finals, sometimes you were never cut out to be successful and bridesmaids have their place in sport.

@@michaelcurtis1330 Yh that's true of any era. But these guys specifically played in the hardest era of all time, and basically only lost to the absolute best players of all time in the big 3 and also Murray. Guys like Henman played in a fairly weak era. He wouldn't have even been a top 15 player in the early 2010s, let alone top 5 players like Ferrer, Tsonga and Berdych were. I feel like these guys were cut out to be all time greats, but instead are now mentioned as the best guys never to win slams :(

@@DrFearfall Henman with all due respect beat some good players on grass like Federer, and was a far better volleyer than any of those guys you mentioned

@@DrFearfall All good champions have a certain X factor about them that sets them apart. While Ferrer, Berdych and I'll include Nalbandian into this were all solid players, they were all towards being a jack of all trades and master of none type, they had no one weapon that was regularly going to hurt players. Berdych's main weakness over those other 4 at the time was his mobility, and because it of it didn't defend well on as consistent basis as they would, Ferrer lacked the firepower in general they had, and Nalbandian had a terribly weak serve and no real weapon to compensate for it.

Shut up

No he would not. Medvedev, Zverev, Tsisipas all better than him.

@@Nazhuk zverev and Medvedev are not better than him mate. I'm not hearing this nonsense.

Big 4 isn't fair to Wawrinka as he also won 3 slams

@@blue_red_screen Never became world No.1 and won 30 fewer titles than Murray did.

@@michaelcurtis1330 yes ur right on that. But Wawrinka fared better vs the big 3 in big matches than Murray

@@blue_red_screen In major finals by 1 you could say by beating Nadal at the AO, but many would argue Nadal was injured in that which dampens it a little. But overall when you consider Murray won 14 Masters events to Stan's 1 I think the likelyhood is Murray will have played them more times and beaten them in those. Don't forget the 2012 Olympics when he beat Federer.

Yeah two semis in a row vs Djokovic at us open. And then that Wimbledon final. And he had the serve

@@blue_red_screen and also lost to delpotro in indian wells 2018 final after having match point.

Some opponents, like Berdych here and Djokovic at the 2010 USO, simply won those MPs.

@@pomerlain8924 but i bet federer was still gutted after losing the match

How do you work that one out? Andy Murray played extremely well that year to win the US open and I doubt Berdych would have reached the expected level to beat Djokovic in the final as Murray did. They had a 54 shot rally for goodness sake, Berdych wouldn't have been attritional enough to have lasted nearly 5 hours to win that one.

@@michaelcurtis1330 just a personal opinion, but I like to think so. Berdych was playing extremely well that tournament, and I truly believed he could beat Murray and Djokovic, but Murray dealt a lot better with the heavy wind in the semis

@@redasdu84 But the conditions are the same for both players, it is who deals with it better. It would be like me bemoaning Andy Murray would have beaten Roger in the Wimbledon final in 2012 if the roof had not come over. It's nonsense.

@@michaelcurtis1330 I never said it was a fact lol just a "what if". There was talk whether the match was to be suspended because the wind was really really strong. Don't know if you saw that particular match, but the rallies weren't great... They were mostly pushing the ball back into the court

@@redasdu84 I did watch the match yes, and such as how well Andy was playing that year coming off the Wimbledon final and Olympics win he would have won that match whatever the conditions and then carried it on into the final which went nearly 5 hours. Would Berdych have kept up with him for that long? I very much doubt it. The top 4 at the time were conditionally a cut above the rest.

Yeah he had a terrible 6 months after playing incredibly well in Australia, didn't really undertand why actually

@@vins6814 i know... if you check you'll see he withdraw from Dubai due to pulmonary infection, so he plays indian wells and miami without a any good preparation. Serra, baghidatis, hanescu and berdych.

Lol he's also converted 20 grand slam championship points

Same thing happened again in Miami 2017, there berdych choked at match point in his own serve

Except Berdych hit an aggressive return which drew a short ball in which he hit FH winner. That's not Federer choking. That's Berdych actually winning the point.

@@pomerlain8924 Stop it, it’s a Federer choke.

What? Now, he's not allowed to lose to certain players? That's the nature of sports. Players lose. Djokovic has lost to almost anyone, too. Nadal has lost to almost anyone. And so on.

@@pomerlain8924 nope , djokovic and rafa very rarely lose to nobody Federer on the other hand loses to nobody way more frequently

Sure, I actually cannot remember him winning any match in his career...

@@mafabiorx i mean he is surely a legend of the game but he sometimes chokes under pressure

@@RameshPatel-yf9qo That's fair ;)

@@RameshPatel-yf9qo Yes, that's true. He's also won a fair few matches from MP down, you know.

why?

@@darkodragicevic2956 2012 AO against Nicolas Almagro is one example.
