Yeah. Pushed Fed to a 3rd set tiebreak in Rotterdam and at the YEC, both in 2005. He was no gimme.

Weird season from him, finals of Doha, Rottadam and Dubai and then some great wins and play in Davis Cup, then sort of nothing in the middle of the year before making back to back masters finals and winning Davis Cup. Kinda brutal really because he lost nearly all his title fights that year, but I'm sure he's content with the Davis Cup.

Went onto lose to Federer in Miami in 2006 also, all in tie breaks. And no breaks of serve if i recall.

Berdych shushing the Madrid crowd the next year was also epic.

Nadal had an easy draw until the final and sort of Ljubicic collapsed in the final (not negating Nadal had merits to that)
Lucky for him the finals were still being played in the five-sets format.

I remember Nadal wasn't very happy with Berdych afterwards. Calling him an as@hole or something similar during the handshake after the match.

This is your imagination (that's what you always do).
¤¤ Berdych said that Nadal had criticised him when they shook hands at the end of the match. ''He said 'You are very bad'.¤¤

It wasn't my imagination. The whole PC after the match was quite heated because of Nadal's disrespectful comments towards Berdych. Few people in the building saw Nadal saying as@hole to Berdych, but Nadal of course denied in the PC. Who knows what was really said, but certainly not a good look from the humble Mallorcan at that time. ;)

Q. I need to go back to the subject that we talked about before. Don't you think you may have made a slight error when you shook hands with him and on TV you said he was an a$$hole?

RAFAEL NADAL: No, I didn't say that. Maybe you heard me wrong. I said he was stupid. That's a little bit less disrespectful.

No, in my opinion it hasn't been an error. In you're saying it's been an error, I respect you.


Q. No, I'm not here to give my opinion.

RAFAEL NADAL: Yes, you've given your opinion. You're going to have yours, and I'm going to have mine. An interviewer can have their opinion.

In my opinion he's a player that has an irate attitude. It's not an irate attitude that I have. He's not a bad person. He's said I said it in a cold tone of voice. End of story. You saw he left the stadium with the whistles of the crowd.

These 'few people in the building' were also imaginative.
You don't know what Rafa said (and you are fabricating stories), but Berdych knew, I quoted Berdych (!) in my post #32: ''He [Rafa] said: 'You [Berdych] are very bad'.¤¤

Saying "you're bad" to opponent after losing? That's pretty shameful. Sore loser stuff.

You fabricated yet another fake story!
Rafa; ''I said he [Berdych] was a bad person for what he did at the end. But that's the end of the story. He showed why he is one of the best in the world and why he is close to the top 10. He played very well and beat me even though I was playing well too.''

I didn't fabricate anything. I just quoted what you claimed. Anyway it's shameful remark.
