Ok fellas I am going back for a double dip on Berdych with the handicap.

Tonight he takes on Germany's Nicolas Kiefer, a player he holds a 2-0 head to head advantage over. Both of those wins came on clay. The first being in the Davis Cup last year where he came from behind to win a thrilling five setter 6-7 6-3 2-6 6-4 7-5, while the second came just last week in the World Team Cup at Dusseldorf 6-7 6-3 6-3.

Berdych has been extremely impressive so far in winning through both of his matches comfortably in straight sets. Kiefer on the other hand had a five set battle spread out over two days in his second round clash with little known Frenchman Marc Gicquel which he eventually won 11-9 in the fifth set yesterday.

Personally I can't see Kiefer backing up at all today after his hard slog over the past two days in the heavier than usual conditions and with the form that Berdych is in I can see him taking full advantage of his weakened opponent later tonight.
