I really miss these days where berdych, tsonga, ferrer, del potro and so on were in the top 10.

He beat Federer and Djokovic back to back to reach the Wimbledon final in 2010. Plus he was one of the few players to have beaten all of the big 3 in slams. And not to forget, made multiple semis in all 4 slams.

One of the cleanest ball strikers on tour. Wasn't as mentally tough as the big 3 but he had some good wins against them. Thanks for the memories and enjoy your retirement Tomas!

Another one of those players who could have had multiple Slams had he played in a different era

One of my favourite players. Going to miss him. That run at Wimbledon was brilliant. Deserved a slam.

When Berdych has time to hit his forehand, its one of the best shots ever.

This guy was my absolute favourite player, gutted to see him retire. He was one of the few players outside the big 4 who could beat any of them when he was on his day.

I really miss you Berdych, what a forehand

That 35 shots rally against Djokovic was unreal & the final shot was a joke really!!

Goodbye Berdych! Happy retirement. Enjoy and allow yourself to reflect on the greatness you have achieved throughout your career.

Will certainly miss him on tour. Have a great life ahead Tomas!!

That forehand is so clean, we'll miss you Tomas, have a good one.

What was amazing about his forehand, is how he was able to generate that much power, without looking like he was putting any effort into the shot. With Del Potro, Monfils, Thiem and Federer for example you can see the effort or at least the long windup motion. Berdych forehand was so simple and direct, with a flat trajectory that imo is better to watch than a loopy topspin forehand (they're like lasers).

One of the best ball striker!

One of the best players never to win a grand slam in the past 25 years, with Ferrer, Tsonga, Nalbandian and Rios (all five reached a GS Final). Thanx for the memories Tomas, and best of luck for your new career !

Berdych was one of those rare tennis talents who was a threat on any terrain with the uncanny ability to make other players seem like they had less control and power on the court. he felt a little inconsistent during points in his career but always a delight to watch him play against anyone, and pulled the Big 4s card at will. today's tennis game needs more like him.

One of the most powerful ballstrikers in tennis history!

His clean ball striking makes him one of my all time favorites to watch. Too bad he couldn’t get a break to win a slam. 😢

Ultimate respect

Happy Retirement Tomas. The Big Four reduced the size of his trophy cabinet, but still it was a great career. I loved his forehand, especially the power he brought off the ground. P.S. : 4:58 That was astonishing

So glad I was able to see him play at Indian Wells this year before he retired. He is a class act and a great player.

one of the greatest 2010-15 Top 10, a lot of semis in grand slams and masters. Classic Chezch Tennis School

Farewell for Tomas Berdych

Berdych's playing style is something special !

Will be missed. This guy had a really elegant movement in the court and a very interesting tennis. Now, I always thought he looked like a perfect fit for a Bond Villan actor. He should consider that now on retirement

Berdych! My second favourite all time player. Sad to see him leave

Semi final AO 2014 2015 Semi final RG 2010 Final Wimbledon 2010 Semi final US 2012

To show just how good berdych is. He has a 12-0 winning record against kevin anderson, a multiple grand slam finalist.

It was a beautiful day Tomas. You were a fantastic player.

Ive always said, when this guy was in his prime around 2011-2013 I would put my money on him to beat federer and murray and occasionally djokovic. The grand slams and career titles and head to heads dont necessarily show it but he definitely seemed to have federers and murrays number back in the day. Nadal and djokovic seemed to know how to beat him but he could still give them a real fright.

WOW !!! Absolutely amazing, great video !!! ATP, Thank you very very very much !!!!! 😉👍🏼👍🏼

Such an elegance and ease in his game, amazing player!

Incredible player with incredible game... sad to see him go. I wish him luck in his future endeavors. Godspeed, Thomas

what a legend

Tomas Berdych is one of the biggest fighters in tennis, love his matches with big 4! :D

I wish you always the best Tomas! 🙏

In his time he was probably the best player worse than big three. Seven years without leaving top 10, but no gradslam. Great player anyway.

Que grande eres Berdych, se te va a extrañar en el circuito.

Big big big player, beautiful to see, class style ! so long

Have a great retirement Tomas , you were one of the most consistent players ever

Heavy, heavy power. Always loved Tomas’ game. He and Lindsay would’ve made great doubles partners.

Shocking news that he's retiring, when the hell did this happen?? He should have gotten at least one Grand Slam. Too bad he was in the shadows of the Big 4 most of his career.

All the best,Tomas

He had that effortless looking power

Awesome player Good career

one of the best forehands

Berdych is so underrated…

Berdych made an incredible 33 times 4R or better in slams. Only big 3 and Murray has more than that.

Can't believe there are no shots from Wimbledon where he beat the big 3 as well

Berdych was a great player. I think he would have won a few slams if not for the Big 3.

The scoreboards of all the videos here really sums up Berdych’s career. He could go toe to toe with the best but never was able to close the matches in his favor. He had a wonderful career. Shame it had to end on less favorable terms.

Good luck Tomas!!!!!!!!

I think it's scary that guys like Berdich, Tipsarevic and Bahgdatis as retireing and Roger is still playing and almost winning grand slams at 38.

most underrated player ever

Anyone else think hes one of the best ever players to never win a major?

He was andy murrays worst nightmare back in the day. After 2013 he was leading the head to head 6-3 and then ags caught up with him and he started to decline and murray won the next 8 meetings. The head to head may be 11-6 but i will always consider the real tomas berdych to be beating murray 6-3

Always thought Thomas was going to be in the top 10 until he has grandkids

Legend

こういう才能溢れる綺麗な打ち方の選手出てこんかな

The best czech player since Lendl

ベルディヒさんお疲れ様です😭

cleanest forehand

I remember Paris 2005, when Berych was so young and already won a masters 1000. He showed a clean, smooth, impeccable technique and with all that insane power, it's cruel that tennis is so defense and mental based. He could have never develop mentally bock against the big 3 If If he had won a few more big titles in the beggining, perhaps he would have been a much more prominent player and even won some Grand Slams. Amazing shotmaker. More technical than Murray, Nadal or Djokovic. And with a natural ability to generate insane acceleration on every ball that comes out of his racket.

Some clean ballstriking there

Dangerous forehand

Berdych has the most effortless and powerful forehand I've ever seen. If this guy have moved better (like Safin for example, almost same height) He surely have been a super player nad multiple GS. His mindset was another problem in some key matches.

He has a very good forehand. Happy retirement!

Murrays playing style really burns the eyes

1:36 listen to the sound of that ball

Why no clip from Miami 2010 against Fed? Lookup Tomas berdych - cold fury.

The way Jannik hits the ball is very similar to Berdych

Hate to say goodbye

Big bird noice career

Cleanest hitter since Agassi.

Dude i feel like every shot is over 170 kmh wtf as well the sound created is unreal like on evry ball returned

Damn what a rally 9:36

Look at this header from Federer 0:57

Just today I heard he retired, sad day! As a Federer fan, most of the time he troubled Fed. There where some epic matches! He matched up worse with djoko and rafa. Enjoy your retirement !

Tomas Berdych. I saw that name consistently at the top all while I was growing up. He may not have gotten quite the same respect as Nadal and Federer but he sure made a name for himself. Enjoy retirement you good man

Nothing from Paris 2005?

I will never forget that ball toss Tomas. Enjoy your retirement, Mr.Powerhouse. Now we can enjoy guys like Tsitsipas, Thiem, Zverev, Shapovalov, Berrettini, Medvedev, Khachanov... but I will never forget times when you was one of the threats of "big 4", beautiful times........ Enjoy 😉👍🏼😃

Probably one of the biggest underachievers in the sport history. He did get to all of the slams sf Atleast once, but to be 6’5, move extremely well, have both rockets in backhand and forehand, and a good serve, and only 1 slam final? I get that he played in the best era of tennis, but his mental game was iffy. He could come out and be lights out or get washed in threee sets.

he will be missed...

数年前グランドスラムでデルポトロを破った試合が印象的でした、決勝ではジョコだかに負けてましたけども‥名残惜しい選手です。

0:57 Federer's forehead

I was just thinking i hadn't seen him play in a while. Shame i won't again. He was a big matchup problem for fed but totally ineffective against djokovic. Shows how tennis is paper scissors rock.

We need Almagro right now

What it takes to beat djokovic is to play one minute rallies like the one in 4:09 for 3 hours, Berdych was able to achieve that rythm for half or maybe one hour one time in a year...

My first impression of him was that he was arrogant, didn’t handle audiences well, and a bit antisocial when it came to fellow professionals. Over time, though, he became more likable, and social. Funny thing was how he was the ATP professional who used Twitter quite a lot and spammed a lot of tweets. It’s a shame that he couldn’t extend his career as he was one of the few who was able to compete and beat all he Big Four and was one of the frequent top rivals. He may not have won as much, but he sure encountered them a lot. He evolved into a better professional. Wish him well on the next chapter.

This guy deserve at least one grand slam !!!! Delpotro style very close to berdytch and berdytch better I think at serve both have great forehand and both good back hand but berdytch better serve i think more accuracy + faster player than delpo and more energy not heavy like delpo and tired quick so I thing not fair delpo have one and Tomas not = I dont mean delpo not deserve but Berdych more deserve the fact sincerely

A great player of our time! Made a name for himself amidst the giants with dedication and hard work. Until a few years ago, he was consistently among the top 20.

Bye tomas......have a nice life after tennis

I know we dont play the IF game. But if there wasnt for them Berdych could be a god of tennis if his mindset was right. :D I am going to miss him and im glad there is no IF coz i love Rafa, Fedex, Djok, Sir Murray. Berdych was legendary too. I also miss stepanek and im glad Djokovic let him win his last match against him :) ! I love tennis.. We love tennis

Are we just going to ignore Federer headbutt at 0:56

I believe he’s one of three maybe four to beat all the big 4 at grandslam level. Incredible talent the cleanest ground strokes you’ll ever see.

What big 4?

While Sinner is rising

Big 4?

あの、ローソンの店員が退職か… なんやかんや好きだったのにな あのバズーカストローク

Tomas didn't quite have that extra "gear" that one needs to win a grand slam, but the dude never skipped "leg day" at the gym, could come up w/ big shots on occasion (as well he should, at 6'5" tall), and he's married to one of the most beautiful women on the planet (Ester Satarova). Winner! Best of luck, Tomas!
