Poor Berdych... He played lights out in AO 2012 and 2014 but still couldn't make it the finals. Unlucky that he had to face God-mode Nadal and Wawrinka :/
Pomerlain89 I’m pretty sure it was only one set point, at 6-5. And after Berdych missed the volley Nadal was lights out for the rest of the match. His returning was unbelievable in the fourth set
davd1986 I was just about to say something along those lines. It looked more to me like they genuinely get along off the court as well. Berdych was smiling...after a loss...that’s very unusual of him
@@jbobbster Almagro is a much bigger dick than Wawrinka and he's been known to have temper tantrums before. I don't particularly like Berdych, but I don't blame him for not wanting to shake Almagro's hand. I don't think Berdych 'learned' anything, he didn't have anything to learn.
Berdych had the better career up to this tournament and really this match turned their fortunes around. Wawrinka won three slams and been to the final of another and Berdych stagnated and went downhill (thanks in part to injuries). It's interesting how the guys just below the big three (and Murray I suppose) were above Wawrinka (Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer, Gasquet, Cilic-though Cilic did carve himself a nice career since 2014 as well with a US Open title, a final at Wimbledon in 2017 and Australia in 2018), but Wawrinka just exploded here. I think Wawrinka finally broke through at a slam in 2013, with that epic against Djokovic. He made it to the QF of the French semi of the US Open in 2013 (Losing again to Djokovic in 5 sets) and it gave him confidence for 2014 and beyond. He surpassed all his contemporaries apart from the big three and Murray.
People talk about Big 3, then the next gen.... But people truly forgot the tennis we had 7-15 years ago. Big 4, Berdych, Wawrinka, Ferrer, Soderling, Roddick, Delpo, Tsonga, Verdasco, Davydenko, Nalbandian, Blake, Baghdatis, Safin, Hewitt. Man these guys at their prime will destroy any next gen no problem when fit.
Somehow I never took Berdych seriously. Maybe I didn't see enough of his matches and saw too many highlights of Federer making him look foolish. But Berdych was serving like a beast in this match, and his backhand cross court was killer. Newfound respect for Berdych!
Exactly my thoughts lol , also jusst realized how clean Berdych's ground game is - except for a lack of plan .. he's got crisp strokes and a beautiful serve!
Wawrinka was able to reinvent his career especially after Norman became his coach - he kept searching until he found the answer to winning a grand slam. It was very smart of him to get Norman who had a fantastic run with Soderling, one of the few people to beat Nadal on Clay @ French Open. Tatoo on Wawrinka says what it took: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." He failed, learnt and evolved into a champion. He might win wimbledon and complete the grand slam :)
nah, they had like 10+ years time to win against federer,nadal,djokovic in slams, they didn't do it, almost every time they lost 0-3 against them 10 x 4 GS = 40 Slams ,they couldn't win 1 , they don't deserve.
People forget that at this point in their careers wawrinka and berdych were very similar in trajectory. The more I think about it this match is when wawrinka ascended into a tennis legend and berdych started to fade out.
Berdych was way better than Wawrinka until 2012/2013. Berdych was a constant top 10 player and had a m1000 win in 2005 with Wawrinka sitting barely inside the top 20 for many years. IMO, Berdych slowly got better heading into the 2010s while Wawrinka just eclipsed him in 2013 and played like a big 4 member at slams.
24:12 that forehand...if Berdych got that right and deeper he would still be on the point, and winning it would've given him set point. I think that point was more critical than even the ones in the tie break
Berdych is so unfortunate to have not won a slam. He's had the big three and Murray in his way and then when he thought he had a chance with Wawrinka beating Djokovic, Wawrinka had to show him that he's too good for him lol.
I remember this match very well knowing Wawrinka was pretty much depleted (from the match against Djokovic). Luckily, Berdych does not play very long rallies (mostly) which worked in Wawinka's favor. Then, Wawrinka could rest for quite some time (nearly 3 days iirc) and beat Rafa, although Rafa got injured.
If Berdych had won this match it could have been his one and only moment in the final. Kinda feel bad for Berdych I think he should have won one slam at-least
@@ChrisPBacon-lu6wd Why? Thiem is beating the top3 consistently over the past 3 years, no one has a positive h2h against him in the past 3 years.... The guy is extremely good. Berdych was a punch bag for the big 3, no way he deserve a slam.
@@nikolaramic over three years? Nah. Yes, he's doing that right now and last year, but these dudes are getting old and Thiem is in a good period in his age and career. If you put prime Berdych right now, I think he would do the same if not more.
@@nikolaramic Oh come on man. Did you watch Wimbledon 2010 or one of the many other GSs where Berdych reached the quarters or semis? He clearly had it in him to win a GS, if Del Potro, Wawrinka and Cilic got slams then Berdych deserves one two imo. He was consistently in the top 10 for over 5 years.
Berdych played lights out and still lost. But wawrinka wasn’t able to hit the spectacular winners against him that he was hitting against Novak in the previous match. Also, wonderful sportsmanship from Berdych at the end. He was kind of a jerk at the start of his career but retired a gentleman.
I still think Berdych and Ferrer could compete or even win against "Next Generations" current in top10. Poor they lived in the primes of the most greatests.
berdych's movement is is his weakness in this match. wawrinka will hit him out wide on the forehand and go back behind him to the forehand nearly every time in these highlights. difficult to know how he can make up for that. maybe if he was more aggressive when he did have a shot, particularly against these better players
+Austin Luker The problem with Berdych has always been he can't open up the court. Pretty much all his shots are linear, instead of moving off the court. And if an opponent can open him up with angles, he's going to be in trouble. It's why guys like Wawrinka and DelPo have done well against him, and the reason the Big Four own him.
The guy is 6'5/6'6 and he's built like a tank. I think he move alright for his size. You can't really expect someone that big and strong to move like someone that's a 5'9/5'10 lightweight.
Guys like DelPo and Cilic are a tad taller, and move much better and defend better than Berdych. They also have better shape on their shots to open up the court more.
Poor Berdych... He played lights out in AO 2012 and 2014 but still couldn't make it the finals. Unlucky that he had to face God-mode Nadal and Wawrinka :/
Against Nadal, he had 2 set points in that second set tiebreaker that could have given him a two set lead.
true brother
Pomerlain89 I’m pretty sure it was only one set point, at 6-5. And after Berdych missed the volley Nadal was lights out for the rest of the match. His returning was unbelievable in the fourth set
He had big opportunities in this match; double faults in the last two breakers crushed his chances
@@pomerlain8924 yeah, just saw that, reminds me of roddick wasting 4 set points to be 2-0 leading in wimbledon 09 final
Can i just say, this is the best quality video i have ever seen.
Wawrinka was a beast in this slam, played like champions and Berdych served awesomely in this match.
dude this quality is the best ive ever seen for highlights well done
What makes you think that?
Just the quality of the video itself. It was harder to find 4 years ago than it is now
thats a nice handshake they had. i like good sportsmanship
+Ryan Guzman Shows Berdych had learned from his no handshake two years prior against Almagro.
Specterling Haha yeah!! lol i remember that
@@jbobbster Or maybe he's much better friends with Wawrinka than Almagro? Almagro isn't exactly an angel out on court.

This was a very well played and high-quality match by both guys. They knocked the cover off the balls from serving to shotmaking.

No they wouldn't
Sinner is Berdych but with far better movement. I don’t see how Berdych beats Sinner at all
I was at this match, it was a top quality night. Atmosphere was electric
He is the best of the top ten guys who dint win a GS, he is better than Cilic too. His best chance was wimby 2010
I was there as well.
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already.
Somehow I never took Berdych seriously. Maybe I didn't see enough of his matches and saw too many highlights of Federer making him look foolish. But Berdych was serving like a beast in this match, and his backhand cross court was killer. Newfound respect for Berdych!
It's sad he did not win a gs. Life can really bad unfair.
Exactly my thoughts lol , also jusst realized how clean Berdych's ground game is - except for a lack of plan .. he's got crisp strokes and a beautiful serve!
You say that but Berdych beat Federer more than almost anyone in the 2010s. He almost beat him at the AO 2009 as well

Berdych accually one of those top 10 guys who deserved a Grand Slam, in the same list: Ferrer, Nalbandian, (etc)
But to deserve in a sport doesn't matter at least
@@florianb107 also true

This quality is unreal
wait until you see 4K tennis in 60fps or more
You really think so?
Such underrated match!!
Thanks for the highlights!
Great player, that Berdych guy. Unfortunate he does not hv a slam
He is a double bounce cheater. He has reached the top of his career and going down hill from this point on because he is a cheater.
Tommy Robert he has been diligent a lot since 2014, bro and by the way, you re an idiot when you say him a cheater
Tommy Roberts how exactly is he a cheater?
❤ Stan service motion. Compact and explosive 🧨 just like his backhand. Well deserved victory for an amazing tennis talent.
Yes, simple motion and very efficient
Stan was unstoppable this tournament
25:11 Berdych still winning the girlfriend game.
LOLOL
To be fair Stan's girlfriend is a top class WTA player
wife now

Namaste
Goodness H&M really made an impressions in tennis during their short period of time 😂😂😂😂
Hola que buen partido
These commentators mentioned Federer's name more than these two guys.
We'll remember u Tomas
Hot hitting throughout
Betdych play tennis? I thought he is a referee for soccer game.
charlie xiong you mean wrestling because soccer referees don't wear them
Hehe I thought the shirt was funny as well
Wawrinka has no haters, in his four big titles he beat Novak twice, nadal and federer
berdych's shirt is veryyyyy distracting
howdyday I'll love berdych in Hydrogen
If Berdych had won this match it could have been his one and only moment in the final. Kinda feel bad for Berdych I think he should have won one slam at-least
berdych shirt looks like a football player
... Ya!
¡Stan come back!
I like Berdych forehand.
A shotgun match. Ironstan nearly out served but certainly outplayed Berych.
Great match from both.

The only thing Berdych did wrong in this match was wear that shirt. Otherwise, he was damn solid that night. Stan was just too good.
i kinda like the shirt lol
Berdych’s ball toss is so high I’m surprised it doesn’t hit the ceiling
He's trying to outdo Del Potro.
Well they have no roof so😉
Many winners🙂
This Match deserved a 5th set.
wawrinka still the only guy to defeat an inshape 100% healthy djokovic in aus open.
True, he will be the only one to do some ever
incredible ballstriking
Those were the days..
I still think Berdych and Ferrer could compete or even win against "Next Generations" current in top10.

They would dismantle them , This current generation is easily the weakest era in tennis history
@@uniquecontent6173 i do not think the current is the weekest, but yes they need mord enthusiasm

Honestly this is the last GS tournament where Berdych was a legitimate threat to win a GS.
2014 US Open He had a chance, and he got smoked by Cilic in the QF. He would have liked the match up against Fed in the SF.
markorevan nah, Federer took him out comfortably in both those matches. Here he was solidly in the match and had a real chance to make the final.
Stan a 2x slam winner.Berdych has zero
That's unfair
