Djokovic is heading towards a straight sets victory.
Historical day at RG. The king has abdicated

Most remarkable fact about this match was that Nole didn't play such a great match (or better, he didn't need to play a great match).
He's been more consistent when there was balance in the score, he's been more confident when it was close.

And that's it.
It's like a QF against players like Ferrer, Berdych or Tsonga (with all due respect) when we say "Yeah he played decently, but against Player X in semifinal he will have to increase his level".

Even if this victory was an easy prediction, it's always kinda weird when you see it comes "true" on court.

Nadal was awful. Not was slightly better - and in the third set, much better.

It was a terrible match. Nadal just doesn't have the power to deal with Novak anymore.

Nole hit 45-30 W/UE, that is good against a player like Nadal. He had some notable choke moments in Set 1 but closed it out still. After Set 2 Nadal's confidence was broken.

Andy wins it. Any chance vs Nole?

Andy Murray has a great chance at beating Djokovic...Some of you guys forget that Murray's been kicking ass this clay season and he's really tricky at times he just beaten Ferrer which is a great clay player...He's beaten Djokovic at a slam before but Wawrinka and Tsonga have the ability to win the title also

Murray vs Tsonga Finals would be awesome Murray will win that in 4
Murray vs Wawrinka: Murray wins in 5
Djokovic vs Tsonga: Djokovic wins in 4
Djokovic vs Wawrinka: Wawrinka wins in 5

True. Unlike the previous years, he was the man to beat, not otherwise. He had to play his game and the oppponent to do something extra just to have a chance. Nadal did it partially only in the first set (I thought it was a great set btw) but lost anyway and failed mentally afterwards.

Well Murray is 15-0 on clay this year but Nole is unbeaten at Slams and Masters and this victory must have given him a mountain of confidence. Nole vs Murray at Slams is really lopsided.

Murray vs Djokovic is a toss up...Murray has his confidence also beating Ferrer on clay is pretty difficult


Murray will win this match and im not much of a Murray fan but he's been really impressing me the last few years
This match will be harder than Nadal cause Murray is playing better on clay than Nadal this year
Murray in 4 sets
Set 1: 6-3
Set 2: 2-6
Set 3: 7-5
Set 4: 7-6
My prediction

Both Nole and Andy are actually 15-0 on Clay this year, that has to be unique. But I still say Nole in 4.

in particular, 23 forehand winners from Nole.
Nadal...only 3.

This is the stat of the match, in my opinion.

I think Djokovic-Murray will be a close match, more than we may think.
