Berdych, meanwhile, was left to look back on what could have been after squandering a 5-1 lead in the second set tie-break.
"I had some chances in the tie-break. If I had been able to make it, tried to push him for the third set, then maybe I would have got another chance. But it didn't happen. It wasn't one of my best matches with him," he said.
But while his bid for glory in the English capital is now over the fifth seed still has a Davis Cup final left on his schedule; the Czech Republic have home advantage next weekend when they welcome Spain to Prague.
"I'm just going to try to prepare myself as best as I can for that event," he added.
"I think this is the better option, to play with the tough guys. Even if you win or not, I think it's better to have a week like this than play some small tournament. I hope that the best moment is still to come."
