Rafael Nadal once again picked the final day of a big championship to turn in a regal performance. He was clinical in his 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 demolition of Czech Tomas Berdych.

Berdych had a great Wimbledon. He came to the final having accounted for the world no. 2 and 3. When asked if the pressure of playing in his first Grand Slam final had affected him, Berdych insisted, “Definitely not.”

Nadal went into Sunday’s match as a strong favourite but he said, “If you are not nervous in the final of Wimbledon, you are not human.”

“I don’t expect anything before the match,” Nadal said. “I expect to play my best in every point and try to fight every point like the last, but I don’t think about if I’m going to have a difficult match or if I’m going to lose or win. I just try to go on court and fight every point.”

 

Before the final on Sunday, Tomas Berdych said that he does not fear anyone after his giant-killing feats in the two previous matches. Nadal, though, said that Berdych is a dangerous player who is in form, and that it would be a very tough match.

 

And it was a very tough match if you were Tomas Berdych. He was up against a force that was unbending, unyielding, and ferocious. It was a force that shredded the resistance of the big-serving Czech with ease. Nadal demonstrated on court what is meant by playing without fear.

 

Berdych had played some marvellous tennis to get to the finals but on the big day, he just couldn’t find a way. “I think the biggest difference between us was that when he got a chance he took it, you know,” Berdych said. “That just shows how strong he is. I think it was really just about the small differences.”
