Nadal expecting tough final

Men's Tennis, 17:43, July 3, 2010 ,

Rafael Nadal expects a hard match when he takes on Tomas Berdych in the Wimbledon final on Sunday afternoon.

The world number one moved into the final with a hard-fought straight-sets victory over Andy Murray on Friday and is favourite to add a second SW19 title to the one he won back in 2008.
The Majorcan looked in ominous form against the British number one on Centre Court and dealt with everything the Scot threw at him in a high-class encounter.
But Berdych has already beaten six-time champion Roger Federer and world number three Novak Djokovic en route to the final and will head into the showpiece final full of confidence that he can upset the Spanish superstar.
Nadal is taking nothing for granted and believes that he will be playing one of the toughest players on the circuit when he faces the Czech Republic star at the All England Club.
"No opponent can be more difficult than Tomas to play this final," he said. "It's very difficult to stop him when he's playing well, and he's playing well.
"He did an amazing tournament. I think he played very good match against Federer; very good match against Djokovic."
