Wow that's great Arvind. I was planning to go for QF but couldn't in the end.
How was the experience? You picked the right event when Maestro was at his best...

Ya, I took a chance. Bought the finals ticket when it was cheap. After Novak won, tickets were being sold at a starting price of $295. Was planning on selling the ticket if Federer lost as I would have made a profit of almost 400% Was more like a win-win situation for me. But I enjoyed every moment of this. Made a hash of last years USO final as both Roger and Novak lost in the SFs. But this event made up for it.

SF Nishikori or Ferrer
Federer:
R1 Mayer
R2 Baghdatis
R3 Kohlschreiber
R4 Karlovic/Isner

Djokovic:

QF Wawrinka
SF Federer
F Novak
Looks like Federer has similar draw like 2012 when he got knocked by Berdych in QF.
He should be relatively fresh this year but age is not in his side.
Nevertheless a tough draw. Looks like its Novak's trophy to lose.
Have a feeling Nadal may finally come thru' this one as a dark horse!!

If Nadal comes through Novak, he will win for sure !!!

You might never know. I for one however find it incredibly difficult to see Nadal getting through Djokovic. This has traditionally been the worst part of the season for him and I really cannot see him having a resurgence like the one he had in 2013. He won both the follow up events that year and made a clean sweep at the US Open.
As for Federer, I don't know what to expect of him for this one. An SF appearance looks highly probable and then it's anybody's game. Berdych's looked spent all year and apart from Isner, I dont think anybody can cause him much trouble.
