Berdych makes short work of De Bakker

Tomas Berdych has booked his spot in the third round of Queen's following a 6-1 6-4 victory over Thiemo de Bakker at the Aegon Championships on Wednesday.

The Czech took just 22 minutes to move into a one-set lead, breaking De Bakker in each of his first two service games to move into a 5-0 lead.

De Bakker did manage to hold at 0-5, but Berdych continued to serve well as he looked on course for victory in record time.

De Bakker did improve in the second, however, with the set remaining on serve until Berdych broke to love to take control. The Dutchman could not respond with a break of his own, with Berdych securing the win in just 41 minutes of tennis.
