Winning on AND off the court! Tomas Berdych wipes Rafael Nadal out of the Australian Open and saves a victory smile for glamorous model fiancée Ester Satorova

Winning on AND off the court! Tomas Berdych wipes Rafael Nadal out of the Australian Open and saves a victory smile for glamorous model fiancée Ester Satorova, She's always in his corner, and on Tuesday when Tomas Berdych, 29, won the semi-final in the Australian Open againstRafael Nadal, 28, his fiancee Ester Satorova, 23, was seen excitedly cheering him on.

Tomas' model fiancee showed off her megawatt smile as she watched her man beat six time champion Rafa and could be seen pumping her first in the air as the excitement mounted.

Wearing a long sleeve white T-shirt with jeans, Ester showed of her funky style with a pair of funky Christian Dior reflective sunglasses.

Tomas, who had not beaten Rafa in 17 successive matches, had even tied for the record as the longest losing streak to another player.

But on Tuesday the seventh-seed started like a runaway train against the 14-times grand slam champion, forcing him deep behind the baseline and painting the tramlines as every shot he attempted appeared to come off.

Tomas won the opening set for the first time in a run of seven matches against Rafa, then swept through the second in 25 minutes and despite a third-set fightback by the Spaniard, the damage was done and the Czech moved into a semi-final against either Andy Murray or Nick Kyrgios.

'I was definitely ready for it,' Tomas said in a courtside interview. 'I set up my plan pretty well and stuck with it through the three sets.

'I was expecting a tough battle but I was ready for everything and that was the difference.'
Third seed Rafa had said prior to the tournament that he doubted whether he was mentally or physically ready to challenge for the title after injury and illness hampered the second half of 2014.

Last week the couple brought some serious romance to the Open when they announced their engagement during an interview with Rachael Finch for Channel Seven.

The men's seventh seed, Tomas and the Czech model began dating in the autumn of 2012 after his long-time relationship with WTA player Lucie Safarova ended.

Clearly excited about the news, TV presenter and model Rachael shared the news on her Instagram page along with a shot of a gondola, writing:

Botanical Gardens, Melbourne where I just interviewed Tomas Berdych and Ester Satorova to announce their engagement! Congratulations to the glowing couple!'

The Australian Open Twitter page also shared the news stating: 'Love and love' along with a picture of the two making their announcement.

An earlier Tweet on their page read: 'Is that the sound of wedding bells we hear? Congrats, they're getting married everyone.'

He added: 'So I'm really enjoying that, that it's different, that I met somebody with a different life. It's a nice experience.’

Ester has been a firm fixture in the stands during every match so far.

Setting the sartorial standard high for her fellow WAGs, the clotheshorse has been showing off some classy designer pieces along with her casual match outfits.

She opted for an elegantly dressed down look for the fourth round grand-slam match which saw Tomas knock out hopeful Bernard Tomic on Sunday.

She teamed her stone washed jeans with a simple white T-shirt with a scoop neck and wore a studded leather belt at her hips.

Clutching a small Chanel purse, she donned a pair of dark, statement shades and accessorised her new rock with a delicate necklace and matching silver bracelet from Cartier's Love range.
