Australian Open 2014: Tomas Berdych ousts third seed David Ferrer to reach semi-finals for first time The Czech was playing in the quarter-finals in Melbourne for the fourth straight year and this time he came out on top, winning 6-1, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. The Spaniard seemed to have the momentum in the fourth, too, but Berdych hung on and then claimed the crucial break of serve. The seventh seed narrowly missed a forehand on his first match point and then had to save a Ferrer break point when he served for it, but on his second chance the Czech clinched victory. He will play either defending champion Novak Djokovic or Stanislas Wawrinka in the semi-finals.
