For his part, 11th seed Berdych will be looking to improve on his 2010 performance when he made it all the way to the final but was beaten by Nadal in the showpiece match. The 31-year-old has said he will attempt to play with self-belief and produce his best form against Federer but acknowledges the scale of the task ahead. "It's a really exceptional tennis player that we have, that our sport has right now," he said of Federer. Querrey, seeded 24th, and seventh seed Cilic are among the most prolific ace masters in the tournament, having fired down 126 and 105 respectively on their way to the last four. "Sam hasn't been at this part of the tournament... maybe that can have a small part in playing that match," he said.
