Nahh ,Berdych will never win a major,he doesn't have the game nor the mental strength.Beating bad form Nadal once proves nothing.
 
Tough contest to suggest who's record of defeating Big4 at slams is better...they have both defeated Fed twice & once each at his most dominant Slam. Both have effectively taken 5 years from first win to most recent.
You can make a compelling argument for each but I'm going to pick Tsonga's record as being superior one simply due to having the Djokovic win come at the Djokers strongest slam...really tough to split them otherwise as the Murray argument can be on clay for one & definitely per-prime for the other. As for Nadal wins, both at AO, one when he was yet to win a slam outside RG & the other when he's coming back from injury.

Tough call either way!
 
Congrats to Berdych. He looked more calm and determined this time. However, Nadal was nowhere near his usual level. Still, beating Nadal under any circumstances is a big achievement. Well done, Berdych.

Do you think Tomas would have won the AO last year without Wawa?
