The head to head series is very one sided in terms of their most recent matches and Nadal looks great to back even at short odds.

Rafael Nadal and Tomas Berdych are the two sole survivors at Wimbledon 2010 and they head into a final that appears as though it will be one sided.  Berdych comes in as the underdog with bet365 who have him priced at +250 (5/2) while Rafael Nadal is priced at -333 (3/10) with the same sportsbook.

Berdych used to have Nadal's number on tour as the Czech star rattled off 3 consecutive victories over Nadal in 2005/06 but since that time Nadal has not dropped a set against Berdych, let alone a match.  The match winning streak is at 6 for Rafa while the set streak is at 14 and that includes two best of 5-set matches from Davis Cup play and Wimbledon 2007.

Berdych heading into the tournament was 66 to 1 to win outright and he was our recommendation to win Roger Federer's quarter at 6 to 1.  However Berdych matches up so poorly against Rafa that it is hard to tip him to win the final when you are not even getting 3 to 1 for the individual match.

If you had him pre-tournament then you must be happy about the price you're getting on one match now but it looks like a near miss and you would be smart to lay him now to make sure you at least break even.

Put Rafa as short as -550 (2/11) in terms of true odds in this match and back the Spaniard provided that you are getting odds as good as that - which is the case across the board at this time.
