Berdych started off with a resounding... DF! An error strewn game and Nole breaks. Mind you – Novak had a string of errors in his game but he managed to hold. More DF misery for Berdy and a long struggle just to manage to hold. This was gonna be a loooong match if they were going to this every game!
Berdych seemed to steady the ship a little bit and kept Nole pegged back to a single break but alas more errors cost him the first set 6-3.
Like Soderling – he looked a little tired, little off his timing...
Things didn’t get better for Berdych – broken in the 2nd game of the 2nd set – This was going to be a long way back for Tomas if he didn’t get his act together smartly.
He got himself on the scoreboard finally but a very lucky net cord sealed the game for Nole at 5-2. Berdy managed to at least serve to stay in the match – but Nole served it out without any problem for a comfortable first round!
And THAT was the end of my 2010 tennis season – a season which saw me free the blogs from their spiritual home on Tennis Forum as part of JJ’s Sub-forum, and released to fly on their ownsome! Saw a few articles published courtesy of Ashley Fisher at www.tennis-update.com and the start of hopefully a few more regular outings from the ramblings of a humble tennis fan
Thanks y’all for reading – See ya in 2011!
