in my opinion, what berdych gestured to the crowd was overcelebrating and he's abound to get booed. i understand where the crowd is coming from but i'm not saying it's the right way to do so. i'm just saying that i understand them.
in all fairness to gonzales, he did play his game yesterday against berdych and played it to perfection. he just played brilliantly. and berdych was just too upset(?) by the crowd's reactions. he seemed to lose all of his concentration.

It's quite obvious that Tomas Berdych wasn't going to be the favorite coming into The Master Series in Madrid, Spain. I would believe that Tomas would certainly expect a warm reception from the crowd for Rafa, that's a given. It's rather difficult going into unfamiliar crowds/territory feeling that everyone is in opposition to you. It's all in the way an individual composes themselves in these certain conditions. Everyone reacts differently to different circumstances, some are calm cool collected, others react with more ardent passion. Some people can handle more hardship and endure the pressures more. I'm sure if this were me, I'm not quite so sure that I would handle it with all sereneness myself if I were in a similar situation. Basically, that's just my perspective and take on this. Certainly, I attempt to understand this from both sides of the coin so to speak. Have a wonderful day everyone

Thanks everyone for the match reports. I have no coverage of Madrid so its greatly appreciated
I can't judge the Berdych-Nadal incident since I didn't see it. I'm not an entirely big fan of Berdych to be honest. I think he is a great player, but from some of his past actions I don't really like him. However, this is a seperate incident so I should TRY not to be biased. IMO, the crowd shouldn't be cheering Berdych's errors. However, he has to realize that crowd that he's dealing with. They are obviously going to be pro-Rafa and they should be. However, my putting his fingers to his lips he's just inciting them more. He probably didn't handle this in the correct manner.
Nevertheless, congrats to Roger for winning his 10th title of the year Rooting for Gonzo, the underdog, of course, but Roger is amazing. Its as simple as that.
I don't see in a bad way the crowd "cheering" only for one people but I don't see bad what Tomas did, and then Rafa told him he was a bad person...
and in the match against Gonzalez the crowd was awful with him... I haven't seen that not even during DC! I was there when he came for DC (he complained a little about us, but well, I'd complain too )
and YES! congratulations to Federer! New record for him!
[...]Federer won his 10th title of the year and became the first player in the Open Era to win 10 or more titles in a season for three consecutive years[...]*

Certainly, no surprise here. Congratulations to him. Quite the dominant force to be reckoned with in this open era of professional male tennis players. What hasn't been said about Federer. He's almost inhuman. That kind of person makes me sick LOL
