Don't worry, Rafa will cure that "sore winner" problem that's plaguing Berdych very soon. Emotions can get heated and maybe he just wasn't thinking straight right after the match, but Berdy should have realized very quickly that he'd be playing against 15,000 opponents at Rod Laver if he didn't do some quick damage control.
The only weird thing was how Almagro said he did what he had to do on that shot to win, which doesn't sound like "oops I didn't mean to smoke you with the ball"...but still he apologized right after. Did Berdy's flop remind anyone else of a soccer/hockey dive? I'm sure it hurt, but really did that little ball have enough momentum to knock over 200lbs?
