( CNN ) -- Tomas Berdych has launched a scathing attack on the time limit rule in tennis following his victory against Germany 's Tobias Kamke at the Dubai Open Wednesday . The World No.6 is a fierce critic of the new 25-second time rule , which has reduced the permitted pause in between rallies by five seconds . The Association of Tennis Professionals ( ATP ) , which runs the men 's tour , introduced the change at the start of the year in a bid to give umpires greater powers . Czech Berdych , who lost out in the final of the Marseille Open last Sunday , has been warned against time wasting on several occasions in recent weeks . Federer eyes grand slam titles in 2013 . The new rule is supposed to make the game more entertaining for spectators and speed up a sport where the average contest has only 20 minutes of action in an hour . But Berdych , who was clearly suffering with fatigue following his exertions 4,800 kilometers away in France , says the rule needs modifying . `` I do n't like it . I 'm not a fan of it . I do n't see any single reason why to have this rule , '' he told reporters . `` What could be positive on this ? What could work ? What could be advantage ? `` I get like a six or seven ( warnings ) in Chennai and then I did not get one in Marseille and now I just get only warning . So I 'm improving . Tsonga and Ferrer battle to title wins . `` It should be clearer what 's going on , because the referee has so much power on you . `` He can do whatever he wants . If you have like 25 ( seconds ) and he has a bad day , or he does n't like you , it 's 24 and you go . `` I mean , it 's so simple . Let 's put the clock there and then everybody goes by the clock . Simple as that if they want to go straight . '' Berdych clearly struggled to adapt to the heat and wind in the Gulf , saving 12 break points and dropping serve twice before prevailing 7-5 6-1 to make the last eight .

Meanwhile , top seed and former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki was dumped out of the Malaysia Open Wednesday following a shock defeat by qualifier Wang Qiang . Wozniacki , who had been suffering with a high temperature Tuesday , looked in clear discomfort during the 2-6 7-6 6-1 defeat . `` I tried my best but I just did n't have energy . I did n't take my opportunities , '' the world number 10 told reporters . `` I called for the doctor and the physio to massage my legs . Not much more they could do . I hope to come back again next year . '' Wang , who is ranked 189th in the world , revealed she was keen to take advantage of Wozniacki 's problems . `` I tried to make her run more to take advantage of her illness and it paid off . This is the best win of my career and it will give me more confidence , '' the 21-year-old told reporters .
