| One of my other favorite tennis players. He doesn't get a lot of | |
| ink in the Big Four generation, but that doesn't mean he doesn't | |
| have fans. | |
| Tom� Berdych (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtomaːʃ | |
| ˈbɛrdɪx]; born September 17, 1985) is a Czech | |
| professional tennis player. His most notable achievement was | |
| reaching the final of the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, causing | |
| consecutive upsets by defeating top seed and six-time champion | |
| Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, and World No. 3 Novak | |
| Djokovic in the semifinals. In the final, he lost to Rafael | |
| Nadal in straight sets. | |
| He also reached the semifinals of the 2010 French Open, | |
| defeating fourth seed Andy Murray in straight sets in the fourth | |
| round, and dropping no sets until his loss in the semifinals to | |
| Robin S�derling,[1] and the 2012 US Open where he defeated World | |
| No. 1 Roger Federer again at the quarterfinal stage, before | |
| losing to eventual champion Andy Murray in the semifinals. He is | |
| the second player (after David Nalbandian) to defeat Roger | |
| Federer multiple times in Grand Slam events before the semifinal | |
| stage. He is one of few active players to have reached the | |
| quarterfinals of all four Grand Slams. | |
| He defeated the Croatian player Ivan Ljubičić in five | |
| sets to win the Paris Masters in 2005. Berdych has since reached | |
| the finals of the Miami Masters in 2010 and the Madrid Open in | |
| 2012, losing to Andy Roddick and Roger Federer respectively. He | |
| reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 5 in August | |
| 2013. | |
| He also played the longest ATP doubles match ever, with Luk� | |
| Rosol, defeating Marco Chiudinelli and Stanislas Wawrinka in the | |
| first round of the 2013 Davis Cup 6�4, 5�7, 6�4, 6�7, 24�22. The | |
| match was played on 2 February 2013, lasting 7 hours, 2 minutes. | |
| It was the second longest ATP match ever (singles and doubles | |
| combined). | |
| Early life[edit] | |
| Berdych was born in Vala�sk� Meziř�č�, Moravia, | |
| Czechoslovakia to Hana Berdychov� and Martin Berdych. Berdych | |
| playing tennis at age five at the tennis center in his hometown | |
| and birthplace of Vala�sk� Meziř�č�. His father, | |
| Martin, was a train engineer, while his mother, Hana, is a | |
| doctor. In age 8 reached final of top young boys of Czech | |
| Republic in Pardubice and won. Berdych soon became a top junior, | |
| winning the Czech Republic U-12 Junior Title. He then moved to | |
| the city of Prostějov where there were more practice | |
| partners and better coaches. Berdych traveled back home often to | |
| keep his ties to his old school. Ivan Lendl used to train him. | |
| Berdych is a big fan of ice hockey and his favorite team is the | |
| Detroit Red Wings. He has met many Czech players from the NHL | |
| and the 1998 Olympic gold medal team, including Martin Straka, | |
| Jaromir Jagr and Dominik Ha�ek. All of them are big tennis fans | |
| and have on several occasions come to Prostějov to play | |
| alongside Berdych. His favorite surface is hard court and he | |
| considers his strengths to be his forehand and serve. His | |
| fitness trainer is Jos� F�lix Gonz�lez Castilla.[2] Berdych was | |
| in a relationship with tennis player Lucie �af�řov� for | |
| nine years until summer 2011. He started dating model Ester | |
| Satorova in the fall of 2011 | |

| I hope so. Do you know who Bertie B. is on TW? She doesn't post | |
| much so you may have missed her. She's an astrologer and she | |
| makes these predictions. It's quite interesting. I saw someone | |
| posting to her and looked at her previous posts, and she did say | |
| that Tomas had something good happening to him. | |
| But, she also predicted that Nadal would come out of his down | |
| cycle Sept, 2013. And, she said he was in down cycle during 2011 | |
| when he kept losing to Nole. | |
| All of her predictions were before the fact. | |
| Isn't that interesting? | |

| she can have her own astrology board if she wishes. | |

| Berdy's AO kit is off the chain, at least in North America. | |
| It looks like a referee's shirt, although it doesn't look bad on | |
| him. I'm not complaining. | |
| I love Berdy. I just wish he had paired it white shorts instead | |
| of red. | |
| Maybe, it'll bring him good look. Berdy is cool. | |
