2017 wasn’t a good year for me: Tomas Berdych

Former Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych, who cut short his 2017 season, has revealed his struggles with a back injury that troubled him throughout the year.

Berdych, who hasn’t played a competitive match since losing to Andrey Rublev at the China Open in Beijing, is hoping to make a strong comeback to the tour. The Czech will start off his 2018 at the Qatar Open in Doha on January 1.

Berdych said: “I don’t have any specific goal. I only want a good season, to be healthy, and then we will see. It wasn’t a good year, but I have been very influenced by the injury. The only time of the year I felt well in was when I played Wimbledon semifinals, which says a lot.”

“It took time (to get the injury healed), and I hope now it continues like this,” added Berdych, who was defeated by eventual champion Roger Federer in straight sets at the All England Club.

The Czech star has realized he will have to work out his schedule in a manner that it doesn’t put a strain on his body. “I will have to take some weeks off. I will play when I will be ready and I won’t be tired, and then results will come.”
