Tomas Berdych
One fortnight in 2010 made Tomas Berdych's name. At Wimbledon he beat six-time champion Roger Federer in four sets, then Novak Djokovic in straight sets, back to back, before Rafael Nadal stopped him in the final, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. The big Sunday never returned, but the game was built to last: six feet five, a heavy serve, and flat first-strike hitting that ended points in two or three blows. It carried him to seven major semi-finals, a career-high No. 4 in May 2015 and 14 career titles.
The trophies came in team colours. Alongside Radek Stepanek he won the independent Czech Republic its first two Davis Cups, over Spain in 2012 and Serbia in Belgrade a year later, the first nation to retain the cup since 2009. A worn-out back ended it at 34, with a farewell at the 2019 ATP Finals in London. He coached Jiri Lehecka to a first tour title in Adelaide, and in September 2024 he took over as Czech Davis Cup captain.
