It seems that the Nadal-Federer domination really came to an end and this is confirmed by the fact that Djokovic will grab the 2nd spot in the ATP ranking after this week.
Nadal looks as rock solid as ever and Djokovic is really in top form. It’s tough life for Federer now.
Nadal won in straight sets against Del Potro. The Spaniard played his best match in this tournament and was able to take advantage of some unforced errors by the Argentinian.
Djokovic had a much more difficult task against Roger Federer.
The Swiss was playing well and this year he was defeated only by one player: Novak Djokovic.
After the Serb managed to win the first set, he had to face a fierce comeback from the Federer in the second set where the Swiss looked pretty inspired displaying the typical ‘Maestro’s incredible shots’.
The match was decided in a particular stint of the 3rd set. The 2 players were on a 2-2 tie when the Serb won 11 consecutive points. The decider ended 6-2.
Djokovic commented ‘I am playing the best tennis of my life. I am playing the best tennis of my life’.
Djokovic will be world nr.2 and he did not lose a match in 2011: this is a clear warning for Nadal.
