Wimbledon 2010 - Wimbledon final the dream of all young tennis players says Tomas Berdych
The man who oppressed the tennis master, Roger Federer, continued his supreme exhibition of tennis yesterday when he hammered down the third seeded Novak Djokovic in a 6-3,7-6,6-3 match. Thus, confirming his spot in the final of this season’s grass court Grand Slam tournament. Tomas has got the opportunity to become the first man from Czech Republic to triumph in Wimbledon after Jan Kodes who won the trophy in 1973.
However, if it looks like the gloomy and remote past then Tomas Berdych has just come at the right time, climbing to fame from the most doubtful of starts. He is contesting in his seventh grass court Grand Slam tournament and has made it into the finals at last for the very first time out of his twenty eight Grand Slam appearances and is now throbbing at the window of prospects.
Ivan Lendl was the man who played at Wimbledon’s final from the Czech Republic previously however he lost two consecutive years back in 1986 as well as 1987. Berdych has provided himself with an opportunity to accomplish a legendary landmark in his tennis career and successfully proved the critics wrong who viewed that he did not have the physical toughness to do what he has successfully managed over the last two rounds of the Championship.
However, feeling the special moment after his victory over Novak in the semi-final at the All England Club was his utmost urgency before tackling with the crucial test of his attitude. Tomas said after the match,” Every small child who hammers a tennis ball on the very first occasion desires for this moment and it is undoubtedly an incredible feeling for me”.
“ Here is the wish and this is exactly the place where I desired to have that wish fulfilled, I will celebrate this special occasion for the remaining part of the day and then get up for the final match’s preparation on Sunday”, he said on Friday. Berdych's aspiration was Djokovic's hallucination, but his demeanour, after the match was praiseworthy, in contrast with Federer's slimy defiance, to give the Czech player any acknowledgment, after their clash at the All England Club.
Djokovic said: "I want to greet Tomas”.
“He definitely performed better than me and so full marks to him. I kept on waiting for him to play any bad shot but I was so not right. I felt a lot of pressure while playing in the semi final match of the Wimbledon 2010 however there is no justification for not being able to find my form at all”, he added.
“The truth of the matter is that Tomas deserved to succeed and now I believe he has a good opportunity in the final at the All England Club”, Novak said. According to Tomas,” The most significant thing was that he ended up the match with a total of three sets in the end”. He looks more confident now and feels fit both physically as well as mentally and it has proved in his recent performances as well.
“What I want to do is to utilize my tennis flair to the best of my ability on Sunday against the top ranked Rafael Nadal for the final victory”, Tomas added. “At least eight hours of sleep prior to the big match will be one of my utmost priorities as part of the preparations”.
The fans of Tomas all around the world will definitely be looking forward for another major upset in the final of this season’s Wimbledon edition 2010 at the All England Club. On the other hand, Rafael Nadal will try his level best to earn another silver trophy back home. So let us see who proves out to be the winner in the end, Nadal or Berdych?
