Lol even post-prime not warmed up berdych wearing full makeup and wearing cords and a waistcoat playing with a wooden racket can take WTA no.7 Kvitova to the woodshed.

In all seriousness: do we think he would beat her in a competitive match if she was actully trying?

Don't get someone who is nearly 2m tall (6' 5") to play an old man!

What kind of old man with a wooden racquet hits open stance forehands and double handled backhands, anyway?

Petra recognized him immediately :-D

You didn't have patience to watch 3 minute video to the end, and instead asked someone to tell you who is this guy? :)

It was obviously a fake ''old man'' from the get go.

It appears that modern-day techniques which attempt to make younger people look like geriatrics haven't advanced at all since the days of the 1960s and 1970s British sitcoms.

So is Thomas Berdych fully back now and Ready to win the Australian open 2019 ? If he can play this crazy good with Tiny wooden racket,,, just imagine what he can do with real graphite racket with bigger head ?

What did she call him? I knew it was a disguise quarter of the way through the video but I'm not sure how Kvitova knew, maybe she knew after he hit some aces.

Berdych seems like a really cool good guy.

"Nice to meet you Tomas", that's what she said I think.

It is unfortunate not to see Tomas Berdych not playing on the tour, I really hope that he will make a return in 2019, he is definitely in the same league as the top 4, just in the shadow :)

Berdych will Wimbledon 2019, mark my words
I really hope he does, I think he is the player the most deserving of a grand slam of all... he has been literally the most consistent player under the shadows of the big 4. Him and Wawrinka, except wawrinka broke through and got 3 GS which is amazing.

Petra: "I realized during the first couple of rallies that it has to be somebody famous, because in order to play tennis like that, you have to be really good." she explained. "I was thinking the whole time who it could be, i even noticed the mask. I recognized Tomas during the handshake at the net. I am proud of myself" (sidenote: they know eachother reasonably well, it helps that Tomas is about 6'5 and has a distinct voice).

Very wise of them to use Tomas instead of Suresh. Not only Kvitova would've been bageled 1 and a half set, she would've been scared and run away the moment she saw the infamous drop volley.
