Miami, April 03: Andy Roddick’s decision to take some risks paid off as the American rallied to beat Spain’s Rafael Nadal and book a clash with giant-killing Tomas Berdych in the final of the Miami ATP Masters 1000.
Roddick engineered a turnaround to triumph 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 over world number four Nadal, who was the highest seed left in the draw yesterday.
Berdych, who saved a match point en route to a stunning upset of world number one Roger Federer in the fourth round, dismantled fifth-seeded Swede Robin Soderling 6-2, 6-2.
Berdych, who said he wanted to be “aggressive but with lots of control” was able to do just that. He broke Soderling four times and faced only one break point himself.
