Rogers backhand was a liability back then against the big hitters. He was too stubborn to take the advice of his former coaches to change to a bigger racquet and his technique until he came back in 2017. He could have won a lot more slams between 2012 and 2016 if he'd listened to their advice.

But overall when you consider Murray won 14 Masters events to Stan's 1 I think the likelyhood is Murray will have played them more times and beaten them in those. Don't forget the 2012 Olympics when he beat Federer.
If not for the wind, Berdych would have been the 2012 US Open champion. My favourite player when he played, even though he was sometimes hard to root for (as his mental definitely wasn't as good as his groundstrokes)
How do you work that one out? Andy Murray played extremely well that year to win the US open and I doubt Berdych would have reached the expected level to beat Djokovic in the final as Murray did. They had a 54 shot rally for goodness sake, Berdych wouldn't have been attritional enough to have lasted nearly 5 hours to win that one.

@@redasdu84 I did watch the match yes, and such as how well Andy was playing that year coming off the Wimbledon final and Olympics win he would have won that match whatever the conditions and then carried it on into the final which went nearly 5 hours. Would Berdych have kept up with him for that long? I very much doubt it. The top 4 at the time were conditionally a cut above the rest.
@@vins6814 i know... if you check you'll see he withdraw from Dubai due to pulmonary infection, so he plays indian wells and miami without a any good preparation. Serra, baghidatis, hanescu and berdych.
What? Now, he's not allowed to lose to certain players? That's the nature of sports. Players lose. Djokovic has lost to almost anyone, too. Nadal has lost to almost anyone. And so on.
Except Berdych hit an aggressive return which drew a short ball in which he hit FH winner. That's not Federer choking. That's Berdych actually winning the point.
It's so sad to see how many games Federer lost after he had match points. Too many...I haven't seen that thing with Nadal or Djokovic. Still all the respect to Berdych, clearly overrated player.

To me he and Nalbandian are the best to never win a Slam. Tomas reached the most semis without winning one...
So disappointed for federer he lost so many matches having his own match points.
Yeah two semis in a row vs Djokovic at us open. And then that Wimbledon final. And he had the serve
@@blue_red_screen and also lost to delpotro in indian wells 2018 final after having match point.
Some opponents, like Berdych here and Djokovic at the 2010 USO, simply won those MPs.
@@pomerlain8924 but i bet federer was still gutted after losing the match
i dont like that the commentators are only speaking in my right ear
Like Ferrer he was a gate keeper. Used to be a barrier between the 'Big 4' as it was known during his time to the rest.
Big 4 isn't fair to Wawrinka as he also won 3 slams
@@blue_red_screen Never became world No.1 and won 30 fewer titles than Murray did.
@@michaelcurtis1330 yes ur right on that. But Wawrinka fared better vs the big 3 in big matches than Murray
@@blue_red_screen In major finals by 1 you could say by beating Nadal at the AO, but many would argue Nadal was injured in that which dampens it a little. But overall when you consider Murray won 14 Masters events to Stan's 1 I think the likelyhood is Murray will have played them more times and beaten them in those. Don't forget the 2012 Olympics when he beat Federer.
Fed wasted a match point on serve and gave away the match on an unforced error... Berdych played well but beast mode is a big stretch...
is he retired? i havnt hear that but...
Magnificant
BWEEEH!!!
If not for the wind, Berdych would have been the 2012 US Open champion. My favourite player when he played, even though he was sometimes hard to root for (as his mental definitely wasn't as good as his groundstrokes)
How do you work that one out? Andy Murray played extremely well that year to win the US open and I doubt Berdych would have reached the expected level to beat Djokovic in the final as Murray did. They had a 54 shot rally for goodness sake, Berdych wouldn't have been attritional enough to have lasted nearly 5 hours to win that one.
@@michaelcurtis1330 just a personal opinion, but I like to think so. Berdych was playing extremely well that tournament, and I truly believed he could beat Murray and Djokovic, but Murray dealt a lot better with the heavy wind in the semis
@@redasdu84 But the conditions are the same for both players, it is who deals with it better. It would be like me bemoaning Andy Murray would have beaten Roger in the Wimbledon final in 2012 if the roof had not come over. It's nonsense.
@@michaelcurtis1330 I never said it was a fact lol just a "what if". There was talk whether the match was to be suspended because the wind was really really strong. Don't know if you saw that particular match, but the rallies weren't great... They were mostly pushing the ball back into the court
@@redasdu84 I did watch the match yes, and such as how well Andy was playing that year coming off the Wimbledon final and Olympics win he would have won that match whatever the conditions and then carried it on into the final which went nearly 5 hours. Would Berdych have kept up with him for that long? I very much doubt it. The top 4 at the time were conditionally a cut above the rest.
Muy burna final
Was he playing with a Prestige paintjob back then?
Man roger more match points blown lol
dangerous！
Who watched in live knows how badly fededer played... all tournaments after AO10.
Yeah he had a terrible 6 months after playing incredibly well in Australia, didn't really undertand why actually
@@vins6814 i know... if you check you'll see he withdraw from Dubai due to pulmonary infection, so he plays indian wells and miami without a any good preparation. Serra, baghidatis, hanescu and berdych.
Federer has lost to almost anyone! Big minus for his career
What? Now, he's not allowed to lose to certain players? That's the nature of sports. Players lose. Djokovic has lost to almost anyone, too. Nadal has lost to almost anyone. And so on.
@@pomerlain8924 nope , djokovic and rafa very rarely lose to nobody Federer on the other hand loses to nobody way more frequently
Roger Federer Tha Goat.
Federer chokes a match point…. Hmm nothing new here. Well played Berdych.
Same thing happened again in Miami 2017, there berdych choked at match point in his own serve
Except Berdych hit an aggressive return which drew a short ball in which he hit FH winner. That's not Federer choking. That's Berdych actually winning the point.
@@pomerlain8924 Stop it, it’s a Federer choke.
Federer choking match points as per
Lol he's also converted 20 grand slam championship points
Where's the beast mode?????? lol! Looked like some typical slow shots from two tired players! ... This title needs to be changed...
Now let me scroll through the comments section where people must be praising tomas berdych as though he was the GOAT
Federer cant just convert match points
Sure, I actually cannot remember him winning any match in his career...
@@mafabiorx i mean he is surely a legend of the game but he sometimes chokes under pressure
@@RameshPatel-yf9qo That's fair ;)
@@RameshPatel-yf9qo Yes, that's true. He's also won a fair few matches from MP down, you know.
❤
Not too many masters either
Fed has always been a sore loser. Nole would have hugged Berdych.
Lmao get help. It's a handshake, like honestly c'mon. Unless you like guy on guy action then good for you I guess.
4-6,4-6,4-6 L2+left😂😂😂
great player, bad character
why?
@@darkodragicevic2956 2012 AO against Nicolas Almagro is one example.
@@pomerlain8924 that's 9 years ago
It's so sad to see how many games Federer lost after he had match points. Too many...I haven't seen that thing with Nadal or Djokovic. Still all the respect to Berdych, clearly overrated player.

Federer losing after having match points, c'mon show something new.
Lmao chokerer
Well, Federer did nothing wrong on that matchpoit Berdych mauled that 2 forehands...
4-6, 4-6,4-6 😂😂😂
L2 + Left😂😂
This is not epic.
Berdych was such a baby flipping emotions. Look at FED, win or lose, no emotions on the outside. That's why he is a legend, the other is not.
Frauderer lose to berdych in Wimbledon 2010 right, on the same year
Weak Chokerer
