After a 17 year long career, Tomas Berdych has announced his retirement from the world of tennis. Berdych reached a career high of fourth ranking in 2015, but for the past two years has been struggling with back injury. Berdych is super proud to have competed in an era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Berdych says ‘ I beat them all at least once, twice actually and more, so that is also one of the big parts of my career. I know that it is the titles that count but yes this has been a very tough era and I am actually very proud to be part of it.
