Berdych gets more prize money for this tourney than Wawrinka does 
Free tennis lesson from Nole here.
Tomas is standing 2 metres behind the baseline and hoping that some harmless topspin balls will trouble Djoko.

thought Djoko would start with the high intensity to not give Berd any ideas with the "tiredness" and suppose yet another thriller is bit much to ask for but
1.05 in a second...

losing only 1 point on his serve during that first set
It's nice to watch a match with no grunting or whining noises
djoko still looks too good tho
hardly serving or hitting winners like stan

amazing scenes ;-)
finally some deep and flat hitting from Berdych and a more aggressive approach.

well he is in Australia (different time zone), so that makes sense
still struggling to hold but getting it done
needs to play better if he wants the 3rd

I fancy a TB here, still cant see Berdych closing this set out
would be good if his volleying gave him a chance in this match.
one of the few players in the top 8 who puts a legitimate effort into his double games (murray throwing a bone to jamie now and again doesn't count)

reckon breaks will decided the sets myself. apart from the 5th, good chance we'll go to a breaker if we make it to a fifth set.
0-30 bit predictable
very poor match

on this form fed/murray will destroy him
your constantly getting there first is grating me caramba: thought i'd dangle it out there early 
it's never too early really, just wanted to point it out. i was thinking about doing it for ferrer vs mugro, but figured there were mainly forum regulars up at that time anyway, so decided against it. what a shame bf forum wasn't around during the old davis cup days, the fun we would have had.
bird's bird looks like an absolute dirtbag
if djoko steps up at all he should cruise it
Should have been Nole's point halfway through the rally.
big point. djokovic can get petulant when he doesn't get what he wants/expects.
i think he expected to break in the final game of set 2, and he expects to break here.

how much longer can he stave off the bps

Argh. Nole one step ahead of me it seems. Don't try too much as Berdych will gift you it.
I know he is from Czech too, but why are commentators talking about Stepanek?
the writing was on the wall when bird took the 2nd set
he's played like a total mug today

not sure why muz and fed have drifted on this performance 
As Djoko is doing this seemingly fit as a fiddle and is expending very little energy. Market priced Djoko based on him potentially being fatigued going into this match, and assuming he'd definitely finish the match with big fatigue questions against a potentially gruelling encounter with Ferrer. As things stand, he looks as fresh as a daisy.
yep , last year here beats murray in semi final match lasting 4 hours 50 minutes , beating rafa in the final ,match lasting 5 hours 53 minutes , thats nearly 11 hours of tennis !
For a man with respiratory problems and an early career fuelled with intermittent fatigue in long matches his new found stamina is rather remarkable. The power of the mind is a wonderful thing especially with a side dose of the Doctors special juice.

a slightly gaunt, terrifying look? you mean kind of like Lance Armstrong looked for many years? 
lucky tomas.
very lucky.
match point, and you're still chucking in those 85% groundstrokes which novak's eaten up all match.
just like that
put some heat on the ball you and you might have more succes.

last game sums up the whole match
Absolutely pathetic braindead display from Berdych

there's just so much against him. novak's serve is firing and the cross court backhand to his backhand exposes a massive weakness. you would think someone in his camp, or he himself, would realise that he's got no chance unless he attempts to wrestle advantage every time he gets a neutral rally ball on his forehand.
You just know Courier's thinking it too. Last interview was layered too.
