Rafael Nadal defeated Tomas Berdych 6-4, 7-6 Thursday night to reach the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open in his first tournament since returning from a six-week injury layoff. Nadal won the final three points of the tiebreaker that ended with Berdych netting a backhand.
It is impressive to see how Nadal fights for victory, even thought he was hampered by knee injuries last summer that continued into the Australian Open in January, when he was forced to retire in the quarterfinals. He has proven to be one of the top players of all history. Even thought Nadal wasn't number one of the world for a long time, he hasn't lost his power and determination for being a better player. I believe that if he continues like that, he could still achive the number one position and be one of the top players of all times besides Federer.
