New Kid On The Block: Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic just defeated Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of the Roger's Masters Cup. Here are my thoughts on Djokovic and my prediction for his matchup with Federer in the final tomorrow:

Watch for Djokovic to pull off the shocker tomorrow against Federer.

Out of the court he is just a big kid that is absolutely natural for anybody of his age . The level of his tennis game already reach Federer level. He got game and mental strength to be able to successfully challenge Federer. In comparation to Nadal's, Djokovic game is less physical but more versatile.

In 2008 there will be a 3 man race for no.1, I'm not prepared to count Nadal out just yet.

Nole is a very good player. He is solid all around particularly on his serve and the backhand side. I wouldn't say that it was suprising that he beat Nadal on hard courts. Nadal hasn't played on hard since March and is very "human" on this surface. It wouldn't be a shocker if he won the final today. But, I think that Federer will rock him in straight sets!

Your pick is looking good so far Scrapper. Djokovic just took the first set from Federer after being down 6-5 40-0 on Federer's serve. This kid is legit.

Blake, "I think that Federer will rock him in straight sets!" Nice call.
