Well played Berdych. Gotta be a big blow for fed. Murray/Djok would be a great final- their semi-final in the last aussie open was brilliant...

It was like Berdych vs Federer in Wimbledon 2010

But now the title is for Nole to take.

Berdych played very well, as he always did in the past two years against Federer. Federer with too many errors and his serving was not that great, but that is also related to Berdych being able to return Federer's serve so well (this is the key to this match-up).

Berdych has a good shot against Murray, hopefully del Potro can make it a match against Djokovic.

Don´t think so. Berdych has been playing like this all this week. I believe he will give a lot of trouble to Murray. It will be a very good match to watch.

Agree with PerfectAce.

Murray will give him something Roger didn't give him and still lost - time.

When given time in current form - Berdych delivers. The amount of errors (or lack thereof) he had yesterday is a clear sign: "if you give me time - I will reap the felt of the ball".

Roger tried his best to hit on the rise and move Berdych. But Thomas rose to the challenge every-time. Murray even if playing his absolute best can't match Federer's court positioning, thus Thomas will have a good look at a winner in almost every rally.

I am absolutely floored by his movement and shot making WHILE moving from yesterday. Wimbledon win was different, movement was not there, he went through Fed then, here he went through and around him.

When berdych slipped during the 4th set i thought that federer will win the match now... I think it will be Murray beating berdych.. Murray has a good shot of winning if he reaches the final and also he ll give everything he has to beat berdych. Or it could be berdych vs djokovic in the final with djokovic winning just like the final of Wimbledon that berdych played against nadal

Missed half the last set. But Tomas was striking the ball true last night. If he plays that way again will really give Murray problems. What zmurray has to do it to take the game to him. Being aggressive and try and give him time. Will Berdych do a Cilic and choke ? I don't think so. I'm really Nervous as a Murray Fan but is this not what we have been wanting for a while now. Other players making the last 4 instead of the usual suspects. If Delpotro can beat Nole. I think a Berdych n Delpo final would be an amazing match to,watch.

Berdych = brutal spinless Powertennis without compromises.

Played really straight against Fed. Saw the whole Match.

His FH on the run is unbelievable. Up there with del Potro - at least the crosscourt one.

Being a Murray fan im pretty damn nervous about the Berdych match. He has the winning record against Andy and always seems to give Andy problems. Well can only wait and see.

Peeps just now repeating what I've said lol.

Think Delpo has a great chance of winning against Nole. Certainly wont be easy but this is his best chance I think.

Berdych hits through the ball as good as any1 and Murray does'nt like it at all. TBH I'd have a better feeling if it was Fed he was playing.

Well Berdych had an awful grass season (Gulbis ftw) and his hardcourt season was mixed at best. You couldn't expect to see him making a SF run at the USO. Imagine if Delpo wins today, THERE WILL BE A NEW CHAMPION outside the Tripartite.
