Djokovic isn't quite golden yet. If he loses in straights & Murray wins in straights, he can actually miss out on advancing altogether. All he needs is to win one set against Berdych to secure a spot in the semis. Berdych has to win and hope for help. Djokovic whipped Berdych in straights in Shanghai, but I don't see the level of play this week being as high as it was then. Really, neither has played sustained great tennis so this could be a back and forth affair similar to Djokovic-Murray last round. Djokovic owns the head-2-head, 10-1 .. but Berdych has mostly shown up and competed against him. 0.5 unit on each and we'll see if it goes the distance. If Berdych can fight like he did in the first two RR matches & Djokovic has trouble closing like he did vs. Murray, I think we can get 3.
