No bagel! It is 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. Congratulations to Djokovic!

^ Hahaa..Seeing the way Berdych played the opening few games of the 3rd, I thought he had given it all up. Though he tried his best , the result was never in doubt. With the way he's playing and with no one in near sight of defeating him (Except probably Federer in one odd day), Djokovic has the unique chance of sweeping all the masters and the grandslams this year. While its close to being improbable I would definitely say he's got a shot at it.

Ditto. Feels like 2011 all over again. In 2011, it was Fed who denied Djoko a shot at the RG title, something that doesn't look possible on current and recent form of both on clay. I had thought Djoko would follow up 2011 with a calendar slam in 2012 but he regressed into a self doubting phase. Now he's back and all the others in the big three have dropped their level a bit. Murray less so but then he wasn't even a threat to Djoko in 2011 and he's not at his 2012-13 level yet. Yup, might just do it this year.

This clay season is going to be very interesting. If Nadal drops out of the top four, there is a 25 percent chance that he could meet Federer or Djokovic in the quarters itself. I wonder if Djokovic would prefer facing him at an earlier stage than the final. The pressure of a finale might get to him. But all said and done, this is the year for Djokovic to get the coveted RG title, I feel. He's playing like a dream, the field is weak which guarantees him a place in the final if he plays to potential.
