Seems to be a lot of denial going on around SBR regarding this match. A lot of "he's due" to beat him and look how Nadal has crushed people. Nadal had the easiest draw of any of the top four seeds to get here, he should have destroyed everyone in his path. Can Nadal win? Sure. But Djokovic is the better player right now on this surface. Better serve. Better ground strokes. Enjoy your value pick, I'm taking Djokovic. Was Djokovic lucky to get here? One shot certainly gave him a lucky vibe, but luck doesn't claw back from down 0-2 to be into that spot. Federer blew it, yes ... but someone has to be there to take advantage and Djokovic put himself into that position by not giving up. Used to be Rafa was clearly the top of the pack mentally, now I think he and Djokovic are 1a and 1b in that category.
