it is possible, berdych has a great potential.
i think his groundstrokes are the most powerful

 

[disturb3d]

Why is Gasquet so hyped? Berdych is twice as talented.

 

[oneandonlyhsn]

I knew he would defeat Nadal today, he gave Rafa a hard time on clay and Berdych isnt very good on the dirt so I was expecting the upset. Plus its that time of the month for Berdych

because Gasquet is from a Western country... whereas Tomas only comes from the former Eastern block Czech Republic.

 

[megadeth]

i think it's still pre mature to speculate, but it's quite possible in due time, provided berdych also makes a breakthrough like rafa

 

[megadeth]

coz if not, berdych could be one of those unseeded guys that becomes a nemsis for a certain top player

e.g.
sampras-ferriera
kucera-agassi
berdych - rafa?

fair play, Berdych's best results so far have come on clay.

the best example is Santoro-Safin

Because Gasquet had the bigger results so far and he was already getting much attention and hype before juniors whereas same can't be said about Berdych in that amount

 

[Havok]

What the heck happened to the Nadal/Gasquet matchups? They have way more history with the juniors and all. And yes Nelly thanks for pointing out the obvious to people who just can't get a grast of things.

 

[Scotso]

Berdych is a sweet player... good hands and all.

Disturbed, you wanna talk about hyped up? Try Andrew Murray.

Gasquet will give all 85-88 born players some real trouble. Just wait and see.

As for Nadal vs Berdych, nice rivalry there. Still early to call, I wish some of them youngsters started to be more consistent. Nadal exploded, Gasquet has reached Hamburg F and Monte-Carlo SF and won Nottingham, Monfils and Berdych made the finals of Sopot, and Andrew Murray came out of nowhere to conquer the UK. Djokovic is slowly making his way, and he'll mean trouble soon as well. I miss Baghdatis out of them doing well.

Young and Del Potro are material for a couple of years.

Monfils defeated Mayer to win Sopot, not Berdych.

Oops
You're right. So, Mayer is another youngster that can really cause some talking, throw him in the mix as well.

Well, Mayer is 21 turning 22 soon, he should already be more developped than the others.

Nah, Mayer is no good. I saw him in Halle this year. Nothing special. Berdych on the other hand seems to have potential.
