Poor Berdych... He played lights out in AO 2012 and 2014 but still couldn't make it the finals. Unlucky that he had to face God-mode Nadal and Wawrinka :/

Wawrinka was a beast in this slam, played like champions and Berdych served awesomely in this match.

People talk about Big 3, then the next gen.... But people truly forgot the tennis we had 7-15 years ago. Big 4, Berdych, Wawrinka, Ferrer, Soderling, Roddick, Delpo, Tsonga, Verdasco, Davydenko, Nalbandian, Blake, Baghdatis, Safin, Hewitt. Man these guys at their prime will destroy any next gen no problem when fit.

Berdych had the better career up to this tournament and really this match turned their fortunes around. Wawrinka won three slams and been to the final of another and Berdych stagnated and went downhill (thanks in part to injuries). It's interesting how the guys just below the big three (and Murray I suppose) were above Wawrinka (Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer, Gasquet, Cilic-though Cilic did carve himself a nice career since 2014 as well with a US Open title, a final at Wimbledon in 2017 and Australia in 2018), but Wawrinka just exploded here. I think Wawrinka finally broke through at a slam in 2013, with that epic against Djokovic. He made it to the QF of the French semi of the US Open in 2013 (Losing again to Djokovic in 5 sets) and it gave him confidence for 2014 and beyond. He surpassed all his contemporaries apart from the big three and Murray.

thats a nice handshake they had. i like good sportsmanship

This was a very well played and high-quality match by both guys. They knocked the cover off the balls from serving to shotmaking.

dude this quality is the best ive ever seen for highlights well done

Can i just say, this is the best quality video i have ever seen.

This quality is unreal

Somehow I never took Berdych seriously. Maybe I didn't see enough of his matches and saw too many highlights of Federer making him look foolish. But Berdych was serving like a beast in this match, and his backhand cross court was killer. Newfound respect for Berdych!

I was at this match, it was a top quality night. Atmosphere was electric

Berdych accually one of those top 10 guys who deserved a Grand Slam, in the same list: Ferrer, Nalbandian, (etc)

Wawrinka was able to reinvent his career especially after Norman became his coach - he kept searching until he found the answer to winning a grand slam. It was very smart of him to get Norman who had a fantastic run with Soderling, one of the few people to beat Nadal on Clay @ French Open. Tatoo on Wawrinka says what it took: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." He failed, learnt and evolved into a champion. He might win wimbledon and complete the grand slam :)

Thanks for the highlights!

Such underrated match!!

People forget that at this point in their careers wawrinka and berdych were very similar in trajectory. The more I think about it this match is when wawrinka ascended into a tennis legend and berdych started to fade out.

Grazie a tutti per i bellissimi commenti. Thanks.

Great player, that Berdych guy. Unfortunate he does not hv a slam

Stan was unstoppable this tournament

❤ Stan service motion. Compact and explosive 🧨 just like his backhand. Well deserved victory for an amazing tennis talent.

25:11 Berdych still winning the girlfriend game.

Miss Thomas........

Miss u Thomas Berdych...

I respect these players . They play very well against big three and they are a real fighters !!

24:12 that forehand...if Berdych got that right and deeper he would still be on the point, and winning it would've given him set point. I think that point was more critical than even the ones in the tie break

So good.

Berdych is so unfortunate to have not won a slam. He's had the big three and Murray in his way and then when he thought he had a chance with Wawrinka beating Djokovic, Wawrinka had to show him that he's too good for him lol.

Wawrinka is so entertaining, people underestimate him too much

Such a good game

so clean the hitting

I remember this match very well knowing Wawrinka was pretty much depleted (from the match against Djokovic). Luckily, Berdych does not play very long rallies (mostly) which worked in Wawinka's favor. Then, Wawrinka could rest for quite some time (nearly 3 days iirc) and beat Rafa, although Rafa got injured.

Completely fucking mesmerizing!Wow!!!

Hola que buen partido

Stan the man

We'll remember u Tomas

Wawrinka has no haters, in his four big titles he beat Novak twice, nadal and federer

Hot hitting throughout

Goodness H&M really made an impressions in tennis during their short period of time 😂😂😂😂

¡Stan come back!

I like Berdych forehand.

berdych shirt looks like a football player

These commentators mentioned Federer's name more than these two guys.

... Ya!

berdych's shirt is veryyyyy distracting

If Berdych had won this match it could have been his one and only moment in the final. Kinda feel bad for Berdych I think he should have won one slam at-least

Betdych play tennis? I thought he is a referee for soccer game.

A shotgun match. Ironstan nearly out served but certainly outplayed Berych. Great match from both.

I wish Thomas brydich and Stan wawrinka younger and play this era ..

Berdych played lights out and still lost. But wawrinka wasn’t able to hit the spectacular winners against him that he was hitting against Novak in the previous match. Also, wonderful sportsmanship from Berdych at the end. He was kind of a jerk at the start of his career but retired a gentleman.

This Match deserved a 5th set.

Namaste

Those were the days..

Many winners🙂

Berdych’s ball toss is so high I’m surprised it doesn’t hit the ceiling

The fact that now Thiem has a Grand Slam and Berdych doesn't is just sickening.

incredible ballstriking

excelente calidad de imagen , pero pésima selección de jugadas.

The only thing Berdych did wrong in this match was wear that shirt. Otherwise, he was damn solid that night. Stan was just too good.

wawrinka still the only guy to defeat an inshape 100% healthy djokovic in aus open.

This was the literally the worst H&M outfit they had ever created

Apoel

Berdych's camp look like one of the most hateful figures on the tour. They come second to Djokovic's camp.

I still think Berdych and Ferrer could compete or even win against "Next Generations" current in top10. Poor they lived in the primes of the most greatests.

Just one break in the whole match

berdych's movement is is his weakness in this match. wawrinka will hit him out wide on the forehand and go back behind him to the forehand nearly every time in these highlights. difficult to know how he can make up for that. maybe if he was more aggressive when he did have a shot, particularly against these better players

Berdych's clothes are horrible 😅😅

Honestly this is the last GS tournament where Berdych was a legitimate threat to win a GS.

Stan a 2x slam winner.Berdych has zero

berdyc lost bc of outfit, yuck
