After being saved by Stepanek,the Hamburg draw rescued Fed against Djoko.But for how long?
Djoko would like to prove once and for all he is irreversibly on the way to capture the world number one spot in a near future,especially that the encumbant has been failing to defend honorably that prestigious ranking.

Stephan, I like the way you seem to know what Djoko would and would not like. Clearly you are clairvoyant. As fir your assessment that Djoko likes to take revenge on people who beat him the time before. Well, I suppose that seems to be the case for all top players. One could take the games between Fed and Djoko and make the exact opposite argument. Fed was clearly focussed on extracting revenge at MC, where Djoko retired with a dubious reason.

Very poor article.

What a farce Rome has turned out to be ... with Steps busting his guts to beat Fed, A-Rod with back trouble, Nadal with bad feet ... there's no question in my mind that if Nadal hadn't been injured he would have walked away with his 4th title ... pity for him.

... or is it 3rd ... Nadal has won so many clay tournaments, I've lost count

Anyone who thinks djoko would give nadal a challenge any more than federer is having a laugh. On clay, Nadal would run rings around djoko and have no hope

I must say, I am very surprised with limp Stepanek as he was sdoing all those acrobatics after the match yesterday...no sign of any fatigue!

Stepanek:
"I started feeling bad for the first time after practice this morning and then I ate lunch and was feeling better," he said.

"Once the match started, however, I started feeling worse and worse. I was dizzy and weak and couldn't play."

This would rather suggest that Djoko was saved by Fed.

What an irony of life! Not only liking to talk about people you claim to hate so much but also becoming obsessed with it. Fed is useless yet the idiots talk about him even when there is no point to. Get a LIFE.

It was quite obvious that something was wrong with Stepanek the moment play started.

Such a pity that both semis were no contest.
