#5 The brilliant Berdych volley
World No. 6 Tomas Berdych can be quite an intimidating challenge when he is on song. The Czech's aggressive, penetrating groundstrokes are capable of hurting even the world's topmost stars. Berdych brought forth his repertoire of shots when he locked horns with Philipp Kohlschreiber in the men's singles set during the UAE Royals vs Japan Warriors showdown at Kobe.
Dazzling and dominant, the former Wimbledon runner-up Berdych was in full flow against the German, over whom he has an 8-1 head-to-head record. With effortless movement and impressive depth, he kept Kohlschreiber out of the court and finished with exquisite touch at the net.
