Tomas Berdych dropped just seven games on his way to defeating Jurgen Zopp at the US Open this evening.

Having struggled to find any consistent form during the grass court season, world number seven Berdych showed that he is more comfortable on the hard courts during the opening set of this match.

He did so by claiming a double break of Zopp's serve on his way to running out a 6-1 victor.

Estonian Zopp provided more resistance during the second set by holding four of his service games. However, he was unable to prevent Berdych from stealing just one break of serve to take the set 6-4.

The third set was similar to the first, although Zopp recorded one more game than he managed previously as Berdych served out 6-2.

He will now face American Sam Querrey in round three.

Zopp Loses in US Open Round 2

The latest grand slam aspirations of Estonia's top male tennis player, Jürgen Zopp, were abruptly stifled on Thursday when he lost to Tomas Berdych in the second round of the US Open.

The 24-year-old Zopp, who is ranked 80th in the ATP, was ill-matched against his Czech opponent, a former Wimbledon champion and French Open semi-finalist. The match ended with a score of 6-1, 6-4, 6-2.

Zopp's participation in the match, however, was an achievement in itself as it was the first time the player had made it past the first round in a grand slam tournament.

The Tallinn native has been riding a wave of success this year, qualifying for all four grand slam tournaments, each for the first time, and pushing his ranking into the top 100.
