Tomas Berdych beats Victor Troicki in Australian Open third round

Tomas Berdych breezes through to the Australian Open fourth round, beating Victor Troicki 6-4 6-3.

Tomas Berdych is through to the Australian Open fourth round, after he eased past Serbian Victor Troicki today.

In a match of powerful serves and brutal ground strokes, the Czech made sure that he took his chances during his 6-4 6-3 6-4 win.

The opening set look destined for a tie-break, before Berdych broke Troicki in the 10th game to take the lead.

He carried his momentum into the second set as he broke early on, and his impressive serve meant that Troicki was powerless to stop the former Wimbledon finalist from taking a two-set advantage.

Troicki's hopes of causing an upset faded fast, as Berdych again broke early in the third set before he went on and comfortably saw out the match.

Berdych will play either Sam Groth or Bernard Tomic in the next round.
