by Press Release | 22.10.2012

Tomas Berdych has qualified for the 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held at The O2 in London from 5-12 November. The Czech, who captured his eighth career title at the If Stockholm Open on Sunday, is now assured of his place alongside Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer at the season-ending event. Just two singles berths remain up for grabs with two weeks remaining of the regular ATP World Tour season.

Berdych, who reached the semi-finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals last year, will be making his third consecutive appearance at the season finale. In 2012, the Czech has captured ATP World Tour titles at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier and Stockholm. The current World No. 6 also reached the final of the Mutua Madrid Open and the Winston-Salem Open, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the US Open.

"London is always a goal every season. You have to play well the whole year to qualify. It will be special for me to play there for the third year in a row," said Berdych.

Brad Drewett, ATP Executive Chairman & President, said: "I’d like to congratulate Tomas on having qualified for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals for a third consecutive season. In recent years, Tomas has firmly established himself at the highest level on the ATP World Tour and his qualification provides confirmation of another outstanding season in 2012."
