Not a chance. Djoker would have destroyed Istomin, it wouldnt have been close. In all their five matchups on Isto vs Djoker, Isto hasnt even come close.

He destroyed him in straight sets on four occasions , even on this same surface at Miami it was a 6-1 6-0 beating so it's foolish to think even if Istomin played his best game that he would come close. You have to realize Nadal's game is heavily dependent on guys that cannot handle that extreme topspin. On days when he leaves those groundstrokes high and lifeless, he gets pounded by guys that know how to handle that topspin ......Djoker is one of those guys (and the best of them).
