ATP - Roger Federer v Novak Djokovic
6 September 2008

Just after final it seems to be the most exciting match on the draw. Former no. 1 Roger Federer, the living legend will match Serbian terminator and no. 3 in the world Novak Djokovic. Both in my opinion didn't play in this tour at level we used to watch them, but finally they reached semi's and one of them will go out. 6:2 in head to head for Roger but in matches in hard result is 2-2, and we have to admit that all matches they played where real epic battles. Last time on hard Djokovic took quite easy victory over Federer in Australian Open where he claimed the tittle. But Roger at that time was meeting some serious health problems and Novak was in one of the highest forms of his career. Now situation is different because both showed some weakness in this year US Open. Federer seems to be fine and at good form. He drop only 2 sets against Andreev, young Russian who played amazing tennis, Roger was very close to loss. In other matches we can say easy win of Federer, but in my opinion Roger game isn't as good as results showing that. Federer is making too many unforced errors, he broke too many times his backhand and far too many times he is making a mistake in long exchanges. Loses to Karlovic, Blake, Simon, Fish before US Open? That don't look good and myth of unbeatable Roger flew away. Against Djokovic it will be much harder, because young Serbian is very close to King Roger game level and I expect long and painful battle. Djokovic drop 4 sets, one against Cilic and Roddick and 2 against Robredo. The main thing that bothers me that Djokovic physical condition is awful. In all these three matches in 4'rd and 5'd set Djokovic looked exhausted. Against Robredo some small injury, big problems with own stamina in 5 set, he barely moved on court. Still on base line he uses a wide-range attack that only few can stand, but I think in this match he will only have strength to win 1-2 sets and after that, his body won't be able to fight on equal level with Federer. Both had their good and bad times in matches and I expect such parts of the game won't cover and it will give us 4-5 set matched, thrilling and with a lot of games. Over seems fine to me. I won't pick a player to win here because it is too difficult.
