Reaching first Grand Slam semi incredible, but next match what counts now, says Berdych
Czech tennis player Tomáš Berdych says reaching his first ever Grand Slam semi-final is incredible, but that his next match is now the most important thing. The 24-year-old made it to the last four at the French Open in Paris after thrashing Russia’s Mikhail Youzhny 6-3 6-1 6-2 in less than two hours on Tuesday evening. His opponent said that he was not given a chance to play. Berdych will now face Sweden’s Robin Soderling, who knocked out Roger Federer, for a place in the final. The Swede has won four of the pair’s previous seven matches, though Berdych beat Soderling when the two met earlier this year.
