Woooohooooo....the soon to be greatest of all time does it again.
Djokovic was in his first Slam final, yet he led 6-5 in each of the opening two sets. In the first, the 20-year-old Serb held five set points. In the second, he held two.
"My next book is going to be called, 'Seven Set Points,'" Djokovic said
:rotfl:
Don corleone of tennis wins both wimbledon and usopen 4 times consecutively :P 8-)
the world no. 3 Djokovic was v. good in semi final and final. Nadalin 2nd place-ku Aapathu
Nadal didnt make it to the semis and if i am not wrong i didnt see him in Quarters either!!
The problem with Nadal is that the nature of his game has backfired a lot of times. He's the most physically impressive player on the tour but the physical demands on his body will be taking a terrible toll and he is at the peak of his powers as an athlete.Quote:

The schedule factor is also there. He almost played double the tournaments that Federer did just to get hold of the no 1 ranking this year (granted he was quite close on points). But he is not gonna get there easily anyway because Djokovic can beat him on two surfaces and he has proven that. So before Nadal thinks about the No.1 ranking he has to seriously worry about Djokovic displacing him at No.2.
Nadal put so much effort on clay courts a season that he is almost exhausted at every us open. It doesn't make sense to play a clay court tournament (Stuttgart) after wimbledon but he did. This is where i think Nadal and his camp can learn a thing or two from Federer who listens to his body and plans his tournaments accordingly. Afterall, in modern day tennis, its the slams that are the defining moments.
For all Federer fans, check this out. A 50+ minute show on some of the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport discussing Federer. Even Nadal adds some funny and great comments.
Federer himself is interviewed. I know its 50+ minutes long but if you have the patience you are gonna enjoy it.
