Tomas Berdych rues Dubai Tennis Championships final defeat

Tomas Berdych admits that he has only himself to blame for losing the Dubai Tennis Championships final to Roger Federer.

Tomas Berdych has lamented his performance in the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships against Roger Federer on Saturday.

The 28-year-old Czech surged to a one-set lead, but eventually lost the contest 3-6 6-4 6-3.

"I would say many things [went wrong]," ATP World Tour's official website quotes him as saying. "The match started pretty well. I had really many chances, and then I basically just gave him the game and that's it.

"It's very disappointing for me the way I handled that situation. I was in the better shape and playing really well and made my chances, but unfortunately I didn't execute it in the end.

"I'm quite good in that I don't keep the losses in my head for a long time. I will definitely try to learn from the mistakes in the second set. I will just try to take positives from that and just leave all the negatives behind."

Berdych is currently ranked sixth in the world.
