From Berdych

 “I had a great three matches so far and playing really well. Even today it was good. I would say almost all the aspects…Now it’s just important to keep it up and try to bring it for as long as I can.” Said the world no.6.

Murray: I made too many errors

Andy Murray wasn’t really happy to comment “The court was lively today. It was bouncing pretty high. It was quite tough to control the ball. I made too many errors…You have tactics for each player and sometimes executing the tactics is tough.

That can be down to the way that your opponent plays. Sometimes it’s the way that he plays. Sometimes it can be the conditions. You need to make adjustments.”

The semis vs. Nadal

Tomas will play Rafael Nadal in the semifinal. Head to head is 14-3 for Nadal that is the hot favourite to reach the final (and win the title).
