Berdych loses Mumbai final

Czech tennis player Tomas Berdych was beaten 13 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) by Russia's Dmitry Tursunov in a rain-hit final at the Cricket Club of India courts at the Mumbai Open on Monday. The Mumbai final, which was put off on Sunday due to heavy rain, was twice interrupted by rain, the first time at 1-1 in the second set and then again at 5-5 in the third set. When play resumed the second time, Tursunov broke Berdych to lead 6-5 but the third-seeded Czech broke back immediately to force the match into the tie-breaker. Berdych, still looking for his first title this year after five appearances in the final, had won 15 of his last 19 matches but failed to deliver when it mattered most.
