N. DJOKOVIC/T. Berdych
6-1 4-6 6-1 6-4

Q.  It seemed like the second set was obviously a lot better for you than the other three.  What do you think made the difference in that one?
TOMAS BERDYCH:  Well, I mean, we don't play for one set.  One set was not enough.
Well, I mean, the only thing I can say that I played him many matches.  Actually, yeah, I seen him play, you know, way better.  He's play really good today.  But the matches before he play much, much better.
It was quite kind of a chance for me, but I didn't come up with my best game and that's what was deciding today.

Q.  Did he not allow you to play your game?
TOMAS BERDYCH:  Well, I mean, I was really, especially in the beginning, quite not hitting the clean balls, you know.  That's very big problem because the ball doesn't have a speed, it's not long enough, then it was quite easy for him.
That was basically the problem.  I was not able to, you know, be aggressive enough.  That's it.  So, yeah, probably.

Q.  Davis Cup was a huge success for the Czech Republic.  Do you think playing against Switzerland, away match, without Roger Federer, will that be a bit of an advantage for you or not?
TOMAS BERDYCH:  Of course.  It's a big difference to playing Swiss team without Roger.  We don't even have to talk about him.  It's really big help even that we play outside.
But the other hand, me and Radek are fit, going to be in the team again.  That's the strongest what we have.  We will try to make the first round because it's always really tough after be that successful, it's very close time in between winning and then playing the first round.
That's our goal, to try to not to play down, try to win in Switzerland.
