The third-seeded Czech broke Petzschner three times in the first set but dropped serve twice. Berdych wasted six set points, closing it out when the 73rd-ranked German hit a forehand long.

The second set was just as close, with Berdych’s decisive break making it 5-4.

Berdych now plays either the second-seeded Djokovic or Florian Mayer of Germany.
