Tomas Berdych pulled of a stunning victory over reigning Men’s Champion Roger Federer on the centre court at Wimbledon today, becoming the first Czech player to reach the semi finals since Ivan Lendl twenty years ago.
The 24 year old Berdych followed his achievement of reaching the semi final stage at the Paris Open in Roland Garros earlier this month and will now face Novak Djokovic for a place in the final.
Berdych who beat Federer in their last meeting in Miami played some sweet forehand shots to accompany his trademark big hitting service, while Federer continued the uncertainty that has crept into his game over recent months.
Berdych said after the famous win;
“It was really big for my confidence. That was my first Grand Slam semi-final and it made me quite hungry for my next matches.”
Berdych won the match 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.
