This match needs Josh Eagle commentating he loves Almagro.

FORMER Australian doubles specialist Josh Eagle has launched an extraordinary attack on controversial slugger Nicolas Almagro.

Almagro was the victim to most when Czech Tomas Berdych refused to shake his hand on Sunday, but Eagle is adamant the Spaniard copped what he deserved.

"I wouldn't have shook his hand either. I would have belted him," a fired-up Eagle (above) said yesterday in his role as Fox Sports commentator.

"He would be in the top three fools on tour ... he treats his fellow players with a lack of respect."

Eagle said it was hard for those on the outside to understand.

Berdych was furious after Almagro smacked a forehand at him, hitting him on the arm, and Eagle had no doubt it was deliberate.

"He had the whole court to hit the ball in," he said.

"You don't get your squash grip out, try to hit it as hard as you can and try to take your opponent's head off."

Asked how his fellow players would have reacted to Berdych's "no shake' policy, Eagle said: "When he would enter that locker-room, he'd be the first person to be congratulated ... 100 per cent.''

I would settle for Berdych just hitting Almagro.

The man tells it like is...no phony politically correct dogma from the Bird man.

2010 Interview:

Q. Players gave recently the fair play sportsmanship award to Rafael Nadal. What is your opinion about it? Were you one of those that voted for him or not?

TOMAS BERDYCH: Probably yes, I was voting for him; actually I was voting for Rafa because I was just, you know, trying to just decide I think between two names, him and Muger.

Yeah, I mean, I just decide to go for Rafa. I think he really deserves it, you know. Just was a little bit disappointing after what I read in London, you know, when I play against Muger and beat him. He was a little bit complaining about how he was injured and stuff like that. It was just kind of surprise for me. So maybe that was just the reason I vote for Rafa.

So I think he deserves it. Why not? Of course, he deserves it.

You are dead wrong on both accounts. He hit a ball on the complete end of a run, below the net, which hit berdych's arm. And Berdych was the one who refused to shake hands, asshat.

That being said, VAMOS NICO!!!
