Berdych falls to Nadal

Spaniard beats Czech to set up semis date with Federer

Friday, April 1st, 2011 13:45:00

MIAMI: Rafael Nadal (above) battled to a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win over Tomas Berdych this morning to set up a semifinal clash with Roger Federer at the Miami Masters.

The pair have not met on United States soil since Federer's win at Miami over the Spaniard five years ago, despite meeting 20 times in the years that have followed.

World No 1 Nadal claimed victory in two hours 17 minutes under the lights on a balmy night in South Florida.

Berdych was overpowered by Nadal's fierce serve in the first set, but regrouped and broke in the second game of the second set.

The Czech, making good use of his own powerful serve, secured his first set against the Spaniard since October 2006 but then was hanging in for most of the third.

Luck was not on Berdych's side as two net cords fell badly for him, Nadal breaking to go 5-3 up in the third and to the delight of a packed stadium court, held serve to set up a mouthwatering semifinal with the world No 3.

Nadal, who received some intense massage work courtside, said he had suffered from some pain in his right shoulder and neck area but was confident it would not hamper him in the semifinal.

However, he conceded it had distracted him against Berdych.

"When it happens for the first time, it's something where if you don't know what's going on you lose concentration (and start) thinking about the arm," said Nadal.

"If it happens tomorrow it's not going to be nothing new and it will be easier to manage the situation. So I am sure that the arm is not going to affect the match."

Federer was gifted a spot in the last four after France's Gilles Simon retired with a stiff neck six minutes into their match.

With Federer having broken him twice to go up 3-0, Simon asked for a medical break and, despite no clear sign of an injury, the Frenchman shook hands with his opponent and the official and walked off court.

A disappointed crowd booed Simon as he headed to the locker room, leaving fans with only a doubles game to watch for the rest of the afternoon session.

Simon said he had suffered a recurrence of a niggling back injury during the warm-up.

"I tried to relax after the warmup. I tried everything. I mean, antiinflammatories, hot cream, just trying to feel better," he said.

"Just after the second forehand, I tried to hit it very hard; I felt it very hard also. I knew I had no chance to play today."
