- if he has a problem with a first serve, he is in a­ big trouble most of the time. His very good serving is­ saving him this year.
- he lost a lots of nerves this­ year, he is not so "secure and competent" any­ more
- He will start AO as a third, not even a second­ holder, having on every tournament from now on harder­ schedule, then when he was no.1
- and most important,­ his Ego is huge, and he will BRAKE DOWN if he doesn’t­ win GS soon, and he will not !
Sorry again, but I lost­ respect for him long time ago, acting this way !

I’m so glad that Novak will deny you next year :- It­ seems that you didn’t watch his last two matches on­ this tournament, so you couldn’t recognize that he is­ again up to his form when he was very convincing­ against Federer, Nadal, Tsonga, Murray and the rest.­ Then you will be really surprise to see what this guy­ can do ! I think this is very rare tournament where you­ could say that Novak had a little bit easier draw.­ Should I count for you who Fedex needed to defeat to­ won his GS titles last few years ? If I use your­ standards - It is ridicules :-) because he was first­ holder on every tournament, so why don’t you say then­ that Fedex was very lucky that time ha ?! There is­ always someone who is injured. Nadal is really injured,­ and Fedex ?? As you surely know very often is harder to­ win Masters event then the GS, because if you are 1. or­ 2. holder, you have pretty easy draw until the semis,­ and play every second day. Also you plat 3 set win, so­ there is no place for surprise if some rookie makes a­ blast in first two sets, if you are quality, you will­ definitely prove it and win it on GS. On Masters you­ have a real top layers, real quality. On GS you often­ see player from top 100, who maybe qualify, but rarely­ pass beside good player from first 32.
Nevertheless­ Fedex was the greatest for a long time, but he is not­ better then Sampras, and for sure he will newer be, why­ ?
, so I wrote this previously:
- Fedex can not­ improve anymore
- there are lots of others being better­ currently then him, younger and they have space for­ improvement - he didn’t have so strong concurrence till­ last two years, especially this year!
- if you study­ his game deeper, you will see that his famous backhand­ slice is just making him too defensive comparing to­ other aggressive players, lots of them learned to­ dismiss with ease this defensive slice. His game became­ just 2 dimensional to lots of talented opponents.

yes it was, every single year, all the way back to­ 2000. I don't know if Davydenko would eventually­ prevail, but he certainly deserved a chance not to go­ down in such an embarassing fashion. No.79, dream on.

Some of these comments are really ridiculous.
Djokovic­ missed only one Grand Slam semi in two consecutive­ years, only Wimbledon’s semi’s this year…… He defends­ his 3rd position on ATP standings earned in last­ season, and came dangerously close to the 2nd. He isn’t­ definitely to be compared to some fast burning stars­ like somebody mentioned before.
If Roger was sick and­ injured he should withdraw from the tournament like­ true sportsmen like Rafa did, but he played three very­ good matches and lost. I can only imagine what kind of­ criticism would Novak receive if he played bad in­ Shanghais and try to blame his “injuries and bad­ stomach” for that. I mean, that’s funny and not so nice­ from Roger, he should congratulate to other guys and go­ and train better.
“Murray was tired after exhausting­ match with Federer”, that just another excuse, that’s­ telling that he is obviously very talented but not so­ prepared and thay he must work on that next year (or he­ must work on his condition even harder or to play­ little bit more offensively and finish point sooner).­ Djokovic had, like Murray, very exhausting match with­ Simon, who deserve his win against Federer, just one­ day before his match with Davidenko, and didn’t have­ any problems to handle him superbly, and Nikolay had­ almost two days off considering Murray’s resistance in­ semis.
Djokovic was simply far better from everybody­ in Shanghais last week, everybody must admit that.

Has it not been a 5 set final in the past? I remember­ Nalbandian vs Federer being so a couple of years ago...­ (or was it last year?)

Good point, Ray V. But seriously, Davydenko was­ starting to wake up and then suddenly CHAMPIONSHIP­ POINT!
One would think that they'd have to work a­ little bit more for a million pounds and something.­ THEN it would have been like a grand slam.

to deliberately make novak a champion

Can someone please tell me why this was not played out­ in 5 sets?

to brainless......just to give minute credit for­ davydenko....he has defeated nadal in the finals of one­ event in the US. just cant recall the name.

roger is the best

"I would definetly put it on a level with the­ Grand Slams"!!! Lets not start bragging here. I­ mean Djokovic knows very well that N1 Nadal did not­ play, Federer had a fitting finish to his dismal (by­ his standards) year by getting some virus. Besides he­ won Davydenko in the final (who put his money on­ Djokovic in some betting site). OK, that last one was a­ joke (hopefully). Basically, it is definetly an­ important tournament, but not on a par with Grand Slam.­ It seems Djokovic is always trying to lift the­ importance of his achievements (something very opposite­ to Federer and especially Nadal). He seemed to remind­ in every interview this year that he is an Australian­ Open champion, as if he was affraid somebody will­ forget or devalue his achievement because of Fed's­ virus. I say, chill man, don't try to exagerate the­ importance of this, you know you won't fool nobody,­ including yourself. It was a good win nevertheless, and­ congratulations. I think Djokovic showed his best side­ (fighting spirit) in the Olympics with his game against­ Nadal, and especially afterwards when he came back­ after that heart-breaker defeat, gathered himself­ together and won the bronze.

Let' s chat on """"""­ W ealthyFINDER Co m­ """""""

Appreciate­ all kinds of topics

hahahhahahahahhahah

just to let you know that there is no so small country­ in the world with so many good sporting people and just­ for your information DANIEL NESTOR IS SERBIAN BORN IN­ BELGRADE but because you bombarded SERBIA he left for­ your rotten west

Djokovic was the best and we all know it, if someone­ doesn't like him that's not our work. Nole love­ his fans and we love him very very much so that's­ what's going to make us and make him happy. We all­ love you Nole you are the best and very soon you're­ going to be no.2 and than no.1.

very nice Merritt :-)

and to “lucky” guys:
Novak acted­ more experianced then Murray, is it forbiden ?
Novak­ played very convincing against Simon in 2. and 3. and­ against Davidenko, especially first. With that kind of­ game, I’m sure Murray, especially Federer wouldn’t beat­ him. He was very close his best from AO.
And remember­ what happened on AO with Tsonga, FedEx and the rest.­ Novak trashed them !
Do you think it is luck to beat­ Rodick, Nadal, and then Federer in three days ?! That­ happened last year.
Remember Indian Vels, this year, it­ was total annihilation from Novak. Is that luck ?
Luck­ is when you play 3 of 4 matches against Nadal like­ better player, and loose all four - that is a BAD LUCK­ !
Other 2 matches this year Nadal was completely­ embarrassed !
And if you still think Novak is a funny­ guy, I will tell you: ”yes he is, he is a human being,­ not like some other big complex robots without­ emotions”

congratz idol "nole", u really deserved 2 win­ as a tennis champ!carry on,keep going ang more power to­ you!God bless and take care always espc.those­ hatred!
let's celebrate the huge­ victory!yeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey....lolz
