TORONTO : AFTER HIS VICTORY AGAINST NESTOR (FIRST ROUND)

2006 ROGERS MASTERS
TORONTO, ONTARIO

August 7, 2006

T. BERDYCH/D. Nestor
6-4, 7-5

THE MODERATOR:   Tomas moves into the second round, taking on Mikhail Youzhny of Russia.   Questions.

Q.   How do you prepare for a match like that today against a guy who hasn't played singles in two years?

TOMAS BERDYCH:   Sorry?

Q.   How did you prepare for the match?   Daniel doesn't play very much singles.   Did you know what to expect today?

TOMAS BERDYCH:   Not too much because I only play with him twice doubles, so that's absolutely different.

But I know something, that he's very good serving, he's left-handed, and he's great on the net.   He is always attacking.   That is the thing what I was expecting in the singles.   That's happen on the court.

I think little bit the wind was his advantage, so he was attacking every my ball.   He was serving well.   I think he was playing quite good the singles after two years.
