“If” doesn’t exist in sport 

Nadal gives great answer on if he would've won fourth, fifth sets: "'If' doesn't exist in sport. That's the real thing. 'If' never comes."

Berdych is confident 

#Berdych "The goal is the top but you have to climb all the steps. I'm feeling strong and prepared and I want to go all the way." #ausopen
