Djokovic vs. The Field - Preview

Well, tournament is in semifinal stage and there are only two matches left for future champion of US Open.

In the first semifinal Djokovic will meet with Ferrer. Probably it wouldn't be an easy match for Djokovic as Ferrer has decent performances lately, but at the end Novak's quality should prevail. This is third straight GS semifinal for Djokovic and it's time to finally take his chances in final.

In second match , 'King' will play against Davydenko who is the only player who didn't lost set yet at US Open. I'm afraid he will lose all three against Federer. Last year at US Open they've also meet in semis and Federer won as well as previous 8 matches , so all is pretty clear , Federer should win this encounter.

Possible and very probable final is Djokovic against Federer. Djokovic improved much this season and I don't see any week part of his play. His serve is almost unbreakable with big percent of successful first serve, backhand is great , foot work one of the best in whole ATP tour. Djokovic also improved his volley and play from the base line. So, certainly player who deserve respect.

Federer is a defending champion of the US Open, moreover he won this tournament three times in a row. But Djokovic was to young then and I think he will be a real challenge to ATP No1 player. H2H Federer leads 4:1. Djokovic rising started this season in Dubai when he took his first set against Federer, rising continue in Montreal when Djokovic won against Federer in final and took his second Masters title , US Open should be cherry on the top.

Seriously, I believe Djokovic has at least 40 % chances to beat Federer and win US Open. IMO Novak perform better than Federer on hard surface. My money will be on first GS title for young Serbian and my pick is Novak Djokovic to win US Open. (5.60 @ Pinnacle).
