Excited Captain Navratil praises Berdych: He plays his best tennis
EXPERT EYE He was looking at the TV at this match well. Tomas Berdych showed one of his best career performances when he overcame David Ferrer in the Australian Open quarterfinals. “Really super performance,” praises Czech first daviscup captain Jaroslav Navratil in an interview for iSport.cz
What do you say about Tomas Berdych’s progress?
“It was one of his Best performances, he played with a really good opponent. In the matches before the match with Ferrer, Tomas was playing, he had a pretty decent game. The players he had wrestled with did not stop. “
” right.After the first service, Tomas scored a lot because he could immediately go to the ball and play aggressively. Longer exchanges have taken place over the second service. I have to say that today Tomas was excellent in exchanges too. Ferrera has played in many instances from the baseline, so really great performance. “
He saved A lot of strength, especially when Australia was such a heat. All the matches played around two and a half hours, that helped him. Moreover, the weather for Ferrer was really perfect. I say again – it was one of Tomas’s best performances.”
How do you explain that Berdych in Australia is doing so well?
” Each player has Like another tournament, another destination. It’s just Tomas that suits Australia, he’s always been there, there’s warmth. For three consecutive years he played a quarter-finals, always losing. This year he has gone out, although with Murray he has a very positive balance (6: 4), but he went to the other side of the spider. He was given to David Ferrer, after he had been able to concentrate with him, and he believed he could succeed. That’s what he did. “
Does Tomas play his best tennis career?
” This tournament is 100% He played great in Wimbledon in 2010, where he got to the final.After a long time at grandslam, he plays from the first round and goes from the match. Tomas is mainly about the first service and the mistakes. When he does not make mistakes, he plays the most aggressive tennis, his opponents are hard on the hard surface of his balls, he is poorly defended. Ferrer has one of the best defenses, excellent legs, but he did not even have Tomas today. His performance was really excellent. “
Can he get through the semifinals?
” The rivals will be harder and harder. The three winning sets are terribly difficult to defeat such players. I think Djokovic and Nadal are still half a class higher than other players like Murray, Tsonga, Berdych, Del Potro. But in the semifinals Tomah can go with a quiet head, must try to play aggressively.With Djokovic, if he encounters him, he has nothing to lose. After performing with Ferrer, he will certainly believe. The start of the match, the starting set, will be important. When it comes to a player with a balance of 2:15, it is terribly difficult. But he has done enough in this tournament and he can play openly, he has nothing to lose. “
Will he be confident?
” Self-confidence will certainly help him. It will be the first service, Djokovic has a very good return. If he serves well and plays in such coolness, he certainly has a chance. We do not know yet who will win (the interview was formed before the match Djokovic – Wawrinka, which eventually won Wawrinka), but just against Djokovic it is difficult to keep such a game level three hundred. Tomas can shoot and win the first set, but then he can leave a bit.But as I said – nothing to lose, the game will surely be open. “
