Should Berdych retire?

[TheMaestro1990]

It has all gone downhill since this:

Now he is even faking an injury to avoid facing Federer and Shapovalov at Wimbledon. When you're afraid of your opponents, you have lost any supposed of edge. Berdych should retire while he still has any honour left.

Why not? All fire is gone

 

[Eye Test]

Yes.
Isn’t that mug like 2-5000 vs the top competition?

Berdych should hang around like Ferrer.

 

[Phoenix1983]

No sir.

The man's retirement shall mean nothing in any case - the man has long bent over for the very best.

He had two good deep GS runs since AO 17 and was only stopped by a great Federer. Cilic was lucky to be on the opposite half of the draw each time to make the final. But you’re trolling anyway so it doesn’t matter.

I feel like with the right coach Berdych can do a lot of damage. He’s got easy power but I feel he doesn’t use it right. He hasn’t got a weak FH or BH. The guy probably should’ve made more of his career. I still think he’s got another good run in him.

He has embarrased himself on the big stage in both of those "good deep GS runs". Hence his decision to sit out this year's Wimbledon. Did he even get a win during the clay season?

Sometimes you have to go trough the hard times to realize how strong you are. #lookforward

What is this BS?

Berdych is still capable of thrashing anyone on tour. Just a few months ago he destroyed Del Potro in Australia. One of the most brutal beatdowns I've ever witnessed. He even had set points against Federer, but his amiable demeanour meant he decided to take it easy on the old man.

If he wasn't injured he would probably sleepwalk through Wimbledon. Should be fit and dangerous at the US Open as always.

Should the NextGen retire, or more specifically Shapovalov? The guy's almost decapitated an umpire and EMBARRASSED himself on the world stage. Does the guy even know how to win a title? Even Julien Benneteau is a mental giant by comparison.

You guys may have taken the player swap challenge too far

 

[AustinTx24]

Would you retire at 32 if you had a well paying job, were in the top 1% of your field and enjoyed what you were doing? I would not.

How he recovers and come back strong.

Good thread, needs Maradona and coke, but good thread anyway

Shush, let Berdych have one TTW supporter for at least a while

 

[Mack-2]

TTW has now become Shapovalov vs Berdych

 

[Bukowski]

Seems like hes at the age where he needs to reinvent his game a bit. Unfortunately he has a poor transition game so he must rely on movement from the back of the court almost entirely and this is the one aspect that declines with his age. Who knows, maybe he will come back for the HC season serving 160mph... obviously i doubt that.. Really wish he had given Novak/Rafa/Murray slightly more trouble like he did to Fed over his career.

He’s stealing (endorsement) money. Good for him. He should do it as long as he can.

Then he can become President of the Czech branch of the Nadal Fan Club.
