After defeating Roger Federer in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, Tomas Berdych has criticized Federer's post-match comments about injuries affecting his play.
"I don't know if he just looking for some excuses after the match or something like that. I mean, it happened to all of us," said Berdych. "You can say that he was unlucky or you can say that maybe the opponent was a little bit better and he just won the big points against him."
Berdych, who won their previous meeting in Miami earlier this year but had lost eight of 10 matches against Federer, also criticized what he had seen his opponent say before the match.
"He's a great player," said Berdych. "But still, when I just read some newspapers in the morning, I was not surprised to hear something from him to the way that he's fine, nothing is bothering him. 'When we played the last match, I lost. But last time in Wimbledon, I won pretty easily.' You know, stuff like that."
