DP played incredible tennis yesterday against Rafa. Just hit him out of the court. Hands down, DP hits the biggest groundies on the tour.
Novak Djokovic beats Juan Martin del Potro in a thriller 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (3).

Great match. DP lost out due to some poor tactics. More intelligent shot selection on crucial points and footwork, and it might have been different. Djoko just took the ball so much earlier and also got into the net zone much more, even using a serve and volley tactic on some points. And he also found an ace whenever he needed one.
Richard Gasquet wins the Kremlin Cup; Tommy Haas wins the Erste Bank Open (Vienna); Jo-Wilfried Tsonga loses the semifinal match in Vienna; and Milos Raonic loses the quarterfinals at the Stockholm Open... All the four are potential qualifiers for Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London!

Oh...so Federer has already fallen behind Wawrinka. Gasquet and Tsonga not too far behind. He may not make it to London this year.:(
