Tomas Berdych fights back to avoid Wimbledon upset against Bernard Tomic

Berdych fights back to avoid upset

Sixth seed Tomas Berdych has advanced to the third round of Wimbledon by coming from a set down to beat Bernard Tomic.

The Czech got off to an uncertain start on No.1 Court as Australia's Tomic made the first break to go 3-2 in front, going on to claim the opener 6-4.

There wouldn't be a break in either of the next two sets as both men traded holds of serve and had to be separated by tie-breaks.

Berdych took both, by scores of 7-5 and 7-3 respectively, before booking his place in the last 32 with a 6-1 success in the fourth set.

Twenty-sixth seed Marin Cilic awaits in the third round for the 2010 finalist.
