Tomas Berdych - 12.11.2011

Q. You beat Roger in Cincinnati two months ago. What do you think about him today?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I mean, I don't know why to comparing with Cincinnati match. It's just to tell Roger play one of well, really good game. I seen him last, well, couple of months, I would say, and I'm pretty confident to say that that's the old Roger like he was playing, you know, the years that he was really winning everything.
You know, we can count the unforced errors what he did like maybe on the fingers on one hand, which is incredible, playing really well.
I mean, he starts every sets really great and just didn't give me any chance at all.

Q. Do you think he played like a No. 1 today?
TOMAS BERDYCH: To be No. 1 it's a long way to go. It's not only about the one match.
Well, that's what I said before, that he played like I remember him few years ago how he was playing. That's mean he was No. 1 at the time, yeah.

Q. Did your match against Murray yesterday have any bearing today? Were you tired out there?
TOMAS BERDYCH: No, no, no. I was feeling good. I mean, even my game was quite well. I mean, just besides those two starts of the two sets, I mean, yeah, those two games, I always lost my serve in the first game.
Yeah, that's a mistake. But then, you know, I didn't get any a chance at all for break point or anything like that.
Yeah, I mean, he played just too good to me today, and he definitely deserves to go through.

Q. Just a question about Tsonga. If Tsonga has to play with Roger in the final, how do you think it's possible?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, first of all, Jo needs to win today, you know, and he's not gonna get it easy at all. I know that probably you're French and you want to see that Jo is gonna be in the finals.
First of all, he needs to work hard to get to the final. And then if he's gonna get there, then it's something what is too far, I think.
But, I mean, I'm not like predicting what's the game gonna be. But, you know, he's gonna play the guy that he never won here and he's gonna have a lot of, like, you know, feeling to win it for the first time.
I think he's really well prepared for the end of the year because he had some time off and won the title in Basel and playing really well.
So for me still Roger is the favorite.

Q. What were will you do between now and London? Will you go home or will you just go back on the practice court somewhere?
TOMAS BERDYCH: No, I just need some rest a bit. I am probably gonna come to London probably Wednesday or something like that and getting used to their courts and just starts to practicing there.
So now I'm gonna take few days off. You know, it's end of the season, and now every day which I can use for relax, you know, treatment, rehabilitation, everything that can help my body to be fit again for the last week, that's gonna help. I'm looking forward to that.

Q. Roger's serve looked pretty good today. Did you feel like it was really difficult to create a chance against him today and didn't face a break point?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Yeah, I just said that. Today was pretty much no chance at all for me. I was trying hard. I mean, every game even I was some break points down and I was already a break down I want to try to stay as long as possible on court with him.
You know, if you can get a chance any time, even if it's like match point up and then you get a break point you made it, that's still a chance.
Didn't come today.
