IW R4: Almagro bagels Berdych 6-4 6-0

Glorious day for tennis everytime this Ballbasher gets a loss. And today there was bagel bonus as well!

Well done Nico! He suprised many people by reaching QF here.

Only watched 2nd set. Great tennis.
Berdych was off.

Nice handshake in the end, IMO.

Worst match of Berdych's career by a long way. Was lucky to even get 4 games in the first set.

Did they shake hands? missed that part

Was he ill? I didn't see any of it. Jesus - Berdych is ridiculous.

Worst match of Berdych's career by a long way. Was lucky to even get 4 games in the first set.

Sad but true. I'm not his fan but I know when he's ON he could trouble anyone.
I don't know what the hell happened to Berdych today, but he was totally off.

Maybe the Indian Wells virus...

Actually they made a very nice shakehand like they were long time friends, and they talked a bit, but I didn't understand them...

Handshake was good. If Berdych was injured/ill then you've got to credit him for at least finishing the match, guy was awful right from the beginning.

I think Tomas will struggle big time in the future in this matchup..

'i tripped on my lollerskates'

Berdy couldn't backup his win over IW GOAT Roddick.

almagro to upset djokovic.

Horrible stuff from Berdych, wasnt a difficult choice to switch to Haas-Seppi instead.

:spit: What a beatdown
Berdych played like pure shit

Legend this Nico.

Actually they made a very nice shakehand like they were long time friends, and they talked a bit, but I didn't understand them...

Just saw the replay on tv :)

If Berdych was ill we all know the reason he actually gave Almagro a handshake this time. :p

good boy nico

almagro to upset djokovic.

You really think that?

Hopefully Djokovic is sitting in an egg so he doesn't catch the IW virus.

this guy is constantly in top 10 for 2 years already :haha: . strongest era ever

Vamoooooooos!

If Berdych was ill we all know the reason he actually gave Almagro a handshake this time. :p

probably the only reason he came on court :p

Berdych's ratio 9/31?! :rolleyes:

Maybe indeed that virus.

4/13 :haha:

What the f...

Mugro, well done. A HC masters quarterfinal is a great result for him. :D

Was there a Berdych look-alike on court?

Today's Spanish special reads: 'Fried Berd with a bagel'.

Aaarrrrgggghhhh terrible shit from Berdych.
Didn't see most of the match, but was he at all okay?
No signs of the Indian Wells Ebola Bird Flu striking him? :o

Ok, a bit more serious: Almagro is a very good player on these kinds of courts so it doesn't come totally unexpected. But, ehm, a bagel?
Kudos to Almagro. :hatoff:

He *still* has a punchable face though. :p

You really think that?

I wouldn't call Almagro totally without a chance after his performance today.

Berdy missed an absolute howler of a volley first game of 2nd set.............. and went away.

Mugro did little wrong all match, very solid.

nico tiene cojones grandes. bamos.

My soul just melted

If Djokovic keeps playing like this Almagro may even make the final.

If Berdych was ill we all know the reason he actually gave Almagro a handshake this time. :p
There's my Berdychs biggest fan girl:angel: :devil:

:kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

:spit:

well damn on hard courts? :speakles:

Always a good day for tennis when birdshit is sent packing.

Bageled by Mugro on HC? Are you fucking kidding me, Tomas? :facepalm: How many top 10 players bageled by Mugro on HC?? Fucking none. Berdshit should be ashamed of himself really.

:haha: Berdych!

lol

A bagel! What was wrong with BirdDick?!

Tomas :bigcry:.

this guy is constantly in top 10 for 2 years already :haha: . strongest era ever


Almagro hits a very big ball actually and has a lot of ability, if uneven in his movement.

You should take the court and try rallying with these guys you love to hate...you might last half a second but I am sure would you whine about it for a lifetime :)

what a fighter this berdych...

no idea if he was sick or not, I hope he was.

Lost much respect for Tomas today.

no idea if he was sick or not, I hope he was.

Even if he wasn't he's probably going to give it as an excuse.

Seems like no one is serious about gunning for the world number 5 spot and owning it. Really disappointed in Tomas. Pissing away his talent. He was supposed to be Marat's heir :sad:

This is really amazing, love it.

Although I had Berdych beating Djokovic in my draw challenge, but I'm an irrelevant mug.

Berdych :o x 100

To borrow a CD idiom, Berdych should request all the players suffering from the IW virus to defecate on this performance for 24 hours straight.

:lol:

Most embarrassing result in years. Disgusting stuff, Tomas.

good for him

del potro? :shrug:

expected, this is not the first time birdbrain has done this, he just lacks consistency to really be a top player.

del potro? :shrug:

If he beats Fed in in the quarters then yeah :yeah:

Well done Almagro reall happy for him.And double happy that Berdych guy is out.

great win from the 2012 RG champion... Almagro 2.0 is an animal... what a beast... scary

Almagro will destroy that 5 slam wonder.

Berdshit losing to Almugro on HC with a bagel :superlol::superlol::superlol:

MTF loves Almugro :cool:

Berdych used to be honest and frank, now he's just an asshole
Good job Almagro...

:facepalm:. No way.

Tomas :o

what a treat :rocker2: :drool: :drool: can't say Almagro is the worst thing about tennis when he comes up with this.

well damn on hard courts? :speakles:

i wouldn't really call these hard courts

any video of the handshake?

Awesome playing by Nico. I think he'll beat Djoko in a 3rd set TB tonight

any video of the handshake?

Berdych lost a match no big deal, he said on his FB page it’s only tennis.

Berdych, smart enough, had a thought that day for the 22 children killed in a bus crash in Switzerland.

btw I did not know the OP was such a :tape: *I regret having voted for him in the 2011 Mister MTF contest, hardly in the same league as Genci and happy the winner is the cat lover*


MTF is a tennis forum. I don't get it. More and more insults and disrespect. Of course, I like Berdych but when I was in Nice (France) I also took pictures of Almagro, I posted them on his forum.

Oh I see, I forgot, it's GM... Chau.

Awesome playing by Nico. I think he'll beat Djoko in a 3rd set TB tonight
right, lol...
