  • Novak Djokovic Presents – Six Steps to Destroy Rafael Nadal

    An outstanding year and it keeps getting better. Novak Djokovic continued his dream 2011 campaign, beating Rafael Nadal for a sixth consecutive final, winning his fourth grand slam title, his third in 2011 (only the sixth player in the Open Era to reach that mark) and his first US Open, while so far losing only two matches all year. This isn’t just a great tennis year, this is one of the more impressive achievements in all of sports.

In my opinion, the best performer so far in the US Open.

It ended about 80 minutes later, at 1:15. A comfortable win at a very uncomfortable time for Federer, setting him up with a very uncomfortable foe at the Quarter final.
