I'm aware that Nadal dominates the h2h 15-3 and that many are giving Berdych no chance here but I really believe Berdych has a shot here. Berdy is in great form at the moment and I think he has a good shot at an upset here today. I think the one important factor that the books are overlooking is that Nadal has played a ton of tennis the last 10 days. He's played 8 matches in 10 days with 3 of those matches being tough three setters. He's basically been playing almost every single day the past ten days.
Berdych on the other hand has been breezing through his matches this week so his fitness level should be the fresher of the two. Now given Nadal is one of the fittest players on tour, his knees at some point should start aching especially on this surface.
Call me nuts to fade Nadal here but I really like these odds and given the circumstances, will play Berdych for a few units.
Best of Luck
