Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych beat Jan Hernych 6-3, 7-6 (7) to reach the quarterfinals of the Gerry Weber Open on Wednesday.
Seventh ranked Berdych broke twice in the first set and closed out second round match against fellow turned a czech for his fourth match point of the grass-court tournament.
Tuesday, Berdych saved three match points before beating Belgian qualifier Ruben Bemelmans.
“Missing two serves on match points, you just have to think about it after the match. But I got back into it and was mentally strong,” said Berdych, the 2007 champion.
Berdych will play 12th ranked Viktor Troicki, who ousted Igor Andreev of Russia 6-3, 6-1. Serbia's victory completed in 53 minutes, five times and losing just five points on his first serve.
“It will be a really tough game. Only the ranking position could make me the favorite. He is really playing well the last couple of weeks,” said Berdych.
