Playing Style

Tomáš Berdych is known for having one of the cleanest and hardest-hitting games on the ATP tour. He is capable of generating great pace on both his groundstrokes and his serve, making him dangerous on every surface especially on grass, a surface which he has reached 3 ATP finals on, including one at Wimbledon. At the same time, Berdych has reasonably sound footwork for being one of the taller players on the tour. Despite the technical strengths in his game, Berdych was known to be mentally fragile in important matches. However, since 2010 he has improved greatly in this regard especially in Grand Slam events.

Equipment and apparel

Berdych is sponsored by Head for his rackets and he uses the Head YouTek Radical MP. For a brief period of time during the 2011 season, he used the Head YouTek™ IG Instinct MP, but he switched back. Berdych was sponsored with Dunlop Sport and used the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 200, but he switched to Head at the start of the 2010 season. He is sponsored by Nike for his attire and footwear.

Qualifying matches and Walkovers are neither official match wins nor losses. This table is current as far as the 2011 Wimbledon Championships.
