Rafa Nadal defeats Tomas Berdych 6-7(5), 7-6(6), 6-4, 6-3, in four hours and 16 minutes, on Tuesday night. It was the Spaniard's 10th straight win over Berdych.

"I think the level of the third and fourth set for me was very, very high playing on these courts," said Nadal. "[I'm] very happy about how I finished the match. It's true it is difficult against a player like [Berdych], because you don't have chances on return. He hit the ball very, very hard and very flat. [It is] very difficult to find [any] rhythm."
