Young star aims to Czech Fed’s progress

TOMAS BERDYCH belongs to an exclusive club of players to have beaten Roger Federer in the last two years.

But the 20-year-old Czech star knows it will take “something special” to beat the defending Wimbledon champion when the pair meet in this afternoon’s fourth round.

Berdych was just 18 when he beat Federer 4-6 7-5 7-5 in the second round of the Athens Olympics. Federer did not lose another match in 2004 and has since been beaten by only four players.
