Trying to get some thoughts on this matchup. I don't see Fed pulling this one out, especially with his fitness lacking. Last match versus Rubin, he struggled with his legs in the third set. Berdych hasn't beaten Fed recently, but he can put up a good fight and tire Fed out. Am I missing something here?

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

their last 5 matches [which don't go back further than 2014] Berdy hasn't taken a set off Rog

[Snowball]

you can take Berdych, but I wouldn't read into their last matches too much,
Ryan Harrison pushed Berdych to 6 pts in a tb, Rubin only got 3 from Fed.
Either way, both won 3-0, and fending off Noah Rubin is perhaps more impressive
than fending off Ryan Harrison.

Federer is a bargain, win or lose, I'll take the discount.

Thanks for the input! Will probably be a no bet and just watch a good match.

accidently bet this match on fd ml


would trying to hit a middle with +1.5 sets hedge with berdych be a longshot?

[burtonrider726]

I don't think Fed finishes in 3. However, it could be 3-1 and I wouldn't middle it. Too much variability. Just ride it out.

However, I do see Berdych taking at least one set from Fed.

[Goat Milk]

Agree. Berdych should take a set and I see a couple 7-6 or 7-5 type sets. Think over is a strong play here. Should soar over 40. Hoping fed gets it done though.

[burtonrider726]

I have to say, I hate these super late matches. Even on the west coast, match is around 1-2 o clock. Makes for a tough morning to wake up.

[Chaz22]

Fed will win 3 nothing.
Couple of sets might be tight, true, but Berdych is such a choker when has to play against better players.

Unexpected, Berdych was not even able to get a set of the old man , who was returning to the tour after 6 months off.
I think Kei will beat Fed.

Anyone can explain Berych fenomane? He demolish top20+ players under 30 games...
But against top10 ecp top4 he is real pussy and seems like other Berdych...

[burtonrider726]

It must be a mental block. When you have the skill set, nerves and mental game has to play a big part. Kind of like when Murray struggled against the big three.
