Djokovic also hung tough in the crisis . Berdych, by contrast , was occasionally at his most fallible when it mattered most. He allowed Djokovic is break back for 4-4 after sneaking himself into a great position to make a stolen volley , only to miss the shot. Then when he was serving to save the set at 5-6 he played his worst game of the match.
The second set hinged on a break at a psychologically damaging time .
When Djokovic stepped up an enormous but short lob and Berdych hammered it wide, it put the favorite 5-3 ahead and gave the underdog little time to repair the damage .
Although Berdych did get a break back point at 30-40, courtesy of a rare Djokovic double-fault, the worthy No.1 stepped up to close out the match.AFP
